You are not out of luck for the UMAX Astra 610P P.Shofet.

WinXP has a driver built in, use the scanners/cameras in control panel. You will have to search yourself rather than let Win do it as it won't find it. You can then use a graphics program to "Acquire" and then a prompt for the device, UMAX should be there to choose. I haven't installed the UMAX program but it is probably possible using XP's compatibilty mode. Good luck.
