It is not likely VISTA will run your scanner software as it is very old. However you could check program compatibility mode and set it to run as Win 95/8 Check compatibility in Start/Programs/Accessories or go to my Computer Windows Help[ and type compatibility in the search field But I don't think you will get far.

LS2208 displays no light

If the scanner is on a USB extension, they can be underpowered and will show up in the device manager but not work. This device like to be connected to a USB cord no longer then 4 ft or so.

I have an HP Scanjet G3010 that I am using with both XP and Vista. The problem is that sometimes it works fine and other times I get an error message that states the following "One of the USB devices...

This is usually caused by a faulty USB handshake. The two most common causes are bad contact (i.e. bad USB port or cable) and interference inside USB hubs, especially the externally powered ones.

You can (usually) solve the problem by disconnecting the cable, waiting for the USB disconnect sound, and reconnecting the cable.

The real solution of course is to correct the hardware problem (which might be as easy as using another USB port, or as difficult as having the scanner replaced -- even if usually the problem is external to the device).

HP DIRECTOR NOT WORKING

the director will appear to not be working if the scanner is not installed and recognized by Windows. A scanner icon will appear on the desktop if it is recognized by Windows.
One likely reason it isn't being recognized is the power supply isn't putting out enough current, 1.25A, to force the correct signal level through the USB port. If the power supply is old, not plugged directly into the wall, or a substitute with the wrong current rating, the scanner will not send enough power through the USB port.

LS2208 works - Keyboard does not

Check that the wedge is good. It is basically a hybrid spltter that powers both the scanner and the keyboard.
USB keyboard?
If so, you may want to go direct to either a serial port or a USB direct connection
