In addition to there being an update to the scanner driver for XP, you are correct about WIA.  There is a little program from Kodak that had that allowed you to shut WIA off.  It is so you can use their software to download stuff from their cameras, but it does effectively kill WIA, which does get in the way of standard TWAIN interfaces.  Altho I think most makers of TWAIN compliant devices have built something like that into their XP updated drivers.
