I was able to get my 8920 scanner to work with Vista using the following procedure.

1. Download and install the 9420 driver. There were two choices on the Visioneer website. It is the second, at the time I did this it was called 85-0257-x00. It will download an .msi file called "9420M.32.407629.msi".

2. Locate your 8920 files. Mine were located in "C:\Windows\twain_32\vizscan\8xxx".

3.Copy the all 9420 files located from where they were installed in "C:\Program Files\Visioneer\OneTouch 4.0\9420M Driver" or something similar to the 8920 folder. (At the time I did this there were 8 files)

4. Now the fun begins. You will need to modify the .inf file labeled "OT_9420M.inf". I was not able to do this without copying the file to a seperate library, modifying it, then copying it back.

5. In the OT_9420M.inf" file there are two lines that identify the scanner. The code for a 9420 scanner is "038A" and it needs to be changed to the code for the 8920 which is "0371". Change the 038A at the end of these to lines 0371 and save the file back. These are the only changes I made. The lines should now look like this:

[Models.NTamd64]
%OneTouchHAL.DeviceDesc%=OneTouchHAL.Scanner64, USB\Vid_0461&PID_0371
[Models]
%OneTouchHAL.DeviceDesc%=OneTouchHAL.Scanner, USB\Vid_0461&PID_0371

6: I then went to the Device Manager Screen under Imaging Devices, found the Visioneer Scanner and updated the driver pointing to the "C:\Windows\twain_32\vizscan\8xxx" library. The scanner was identified and found. Be aware it will now show up in the device manager screen as a 9420 scanner, but who cares if it works. I am not that much of a purest'

I make no guarantees this procedure will work for you, and if you are unfamiliar with Windows be very careful to back up anything you modify in case you need to go back. This procedure was created with the help of several posts of people having problems using their old scanners with Vista.
Good luck.....
