Have you checked the Epson website for updates of the software that
originally came with the scanner?
Usually you can obtain these updates free of charge; so they may well
have the Vista version available, if the scanner is not too old.
A search on Google found this:

This is the link for the Vista Drivers; this could suggest the existing
original (scanning) software works with the scanner in Vista (no harm in
trying it; it will either work or it won't.).
