I've already found it for you.

Note that it runs from Programs(X86) so is presumably 32 bit. I don't
think Win7 Pro or XP compatibility mode is required. I heard that XP
compatibility mode has problems with drivers... I think only USB is
supported. Just follow the instructions above... meticulously.
One other possible stumbling block is that this scanner's electrical
interface is FireWire, not USB. You will need a FireWire adapter
installed in your new computer if you don't have one already.
