    I use the small Canon scanner, may be used in an almost upright
    position too and runs directly from the USB-port, no external power
    supply needed.

     Years ago I had a wonderfull "travelling" Logitech, wonderfull as you
    could scan almost a meter or yard in one go, 210mm wide, a few scans
    on board and a whole chart was copied, but there are no drivers for
    windows XP

    For a screen grab I suggest you try (free software utilities) at:

    http://www.analogx.com/

    follow the menu: software > overview > system utilities > capture

    It is a very small utility program that just does what it says and
    still gives you some choices.

    Some other nice programs there too ;-)

    Have fun

    Peter
