First check the manufacturer's website to see if there are Vista drivers for it. If there are, download them first and install on your Vista machine.
If there are no Vista drivers it may just not work. Although... I have an older Canon scanner that works on my Vista machine using the XP drivers.

If they have issued an update for the drivers for Vista then yes - if not - then no.
You could try to use Program Compatibility Wizard - but to be honest I have had little or no success using this.
Most XP software should run - but as you have found, this isn't always the case.
