Scanning photos to WinXP

Sorry, I may have posted this in the wrong forum earlier...

I just switched over to XP and I am trying to edit a photo that I scanned to My Pictures. When I saved the photo it also saved all the white background behind it, so when I open the file to view the photo, I see a picture surrounded by white background rather than just the picture. How do I correct such a thing?
 
Adul, I did crop the photo, but I can't figure out how to save it where it can be viewed as a normal photo, rather than looking like a photo glued to a white background.
 
First the appropriate forum would be software or maybe tech support, this has nothing to do with hardware.

Second, I don't have xp, Irfanview is free and can scan and crop just fine though.
 
cmon, someone help me out here. I find it hard to believe that no one knows how to do this.

You've already been given the answer. The question here isn't that we don't know how to do this. It's that you don't know how to do it. What you have done is scanned the entire surface of the scanbed. If you crop the image you will remove the extra around whatever you have selected. If you still have more than just the picture then you aren't cropping and are doing something entirely different. It's incredibly straight forward. I would recommend first that you read the support documentation on how to crop. If you're still having trouble figuring it out try posting in the software forum since this is not a general hardwre question.
