I was trawling through the internet a few weeks ago and saw a whole lot of old posts (circa 2005) from people saying that their Packard Bell Diamond 1200+ scanner no longer works in Windows XP and some were forced to bin them.
Weep no more thanks to a post on this website:

From the mustek link posted you select the drivers for Mustek Bearpaw 1200 CU plus. Select the Logo driver at the top of the page, download and install and hey presto your scanner should be fully functioning again.
