Trying to run CanoScan 4200F on laptop with Vista 32 bit.

I have downloaded all updated drivers, etc. and their tech support people gave me some suggestions (that did not work)---I can only scan one page at a time and then the scanner does not find the TWAIN source. I have to close out the ToolBox and restart process to scan another page. It does not point to the Scanner for additional scanning and the box show blank and the pull down menu shows nothing.
