Using Canon LIDE 25 Vista64 drivers with LIDE 20

I am one of the many who seem to have a 'dead' LiDE 20 with no Vista 64 drivers. I thought I'd read somewhere on here that someone was able to get theirs to work by using the Vista64 driver for the Lide 25. I tried and all it does is power up, light up, and then nothing. It's the most I've been able to do with it since we bought our new PC this summer which makes me think I'm onto something.

Any thoughts? (VueScan is on my list, along with 'buy new scanner that's x64 ready')

Thanks

Linux to the rescue. I tried a LiveCD of Ubuntu and xsane ran my Lide 20 without a problem. I was even able to save the scanned pictures to my HP hard drive. I'm tempted to do a dual boot of Ubuntu and Vista, but we'll see.

For as little as I use the scanner, booting from a cd every once in a while doesn't bother me.
