I did a quick Google search for drivers for this scanner and found that it
is apparently quite old. I don't see any Vista drivers listed for it. If
VueScan won't work, then you are stuck with getting a new scanner that is
supported in Vista.

firstly thanks for the reply and secondly i managed to make it work.. i
don't really know how i did it .. i think the problem was that, i
downloaded and installed to many drivers so i had to uninstall all of
them except the one i wanted.. i believe i found somewhere in a site the
setup that is compatible with vista but i don't know where because it
didn't work when i first installed it .. so i just skiped it and
continue .. i had it installed though and now it works .. thanks a lot
.. bye ...

I'm glad you got it sorted. Your method reminds me of how I used to install
printers in Win95. Just keep banging away until something sticks. ;-)
Whatever, thanks for updating the thread.
