Scanjet G4050 (top Half) Negative Scanner Needs Driver For Xp.

I have been using my scanner just as a scanner for some time now. I have a new project that needs the negative / transparencies scanning ability but the other scanner doesn't seem to be working or the driver is not installed to enable this function. I have un-installed - reinstalled .. nothing seems to work. The HP diagnostics tells me that there is NO scanner attached and quits!  Any help is of value PLEASE...!!
