When I turn the scanner on a message comes up on my computer " There is no application registered for this event"
Can anyone tell me what to do now

Reboot your computer and see if that helps
Verify cables connected properly to the back of the scanner
Ensure that the scanner is getting power
Additional parallel port scanner troubleshooting
If you have another device connected in between the scanner and the computer, turn off the computer and temporally disconnect the devices connected to or from the scanner. If, after disconnecting these devices, the scanner works, it is likely that another device may have issues or may be unable to work with other parallel devices.
PC Windows users verify no TSRs are running in the background
Press CTRL + ALT + DEL and end task all currently running software except explorer and systray and attempt to scan again. If this resolves your issue it's a possibility that an application in the background such as a virus utility is preventing your scanner from scanning.
Verify the LPT port mode
PC users ensure that the LPT port mode within the computer BIOS is set to either EPP or bi-directional mode and/or try alternating between these two modes.
Update the drivers
Verify that the latest drivers are installed for the operating system being used on your computer. A listing of computer scanner manufacturers and links to the drivers pages can be found on our scanner drivers page.

If you're using Windows Vista, you may be out of luck. I can only see drivers for Windows XP and older.
Take a look at the following sites and see if you can find an updated driver.
Edit:
Apologies. There do appear to be Vista drivers available. Try the bottom url.

Make sure you installed the right drivers for it and that everything is plugged in prorperly and completely. Also make sure there aren't any updates for the program.Sometimes things won't work until updates are done first.
