It would be simpler for you to check the scanner manufacturer's website for
Vista compatible drivers. If you are using the drivers that shipped with
your scanner and Vista wasn't released yet, it's quite likely the drivers
you are using are not compatible with Vista. Drivers are the responsibility
of the hardware manufacturers.
