I restarted the computer, started Photoshop, and everything worked fine, just like on my Windows 10 machine. So then I installed the Epson driver that I had previously downloaded from the internet. A check of the CD-ROM indicated that the driver does not exist (at least I couldn't find it) on it. When I started Photoshop found that the driver was not installed.

Next I restarted the computer and installed the Epson Scanner software from the Epson CD-ROM. I then checked to see if I could launch it (I could).

Then I installed Photoshop 7 from the CD-ROM rather than from the copy of it that I had made and stored on the HD. So I uninstalled the Epson driver and Photoshop 7 and restarted the computer. Yeah, the WIA choice works albeit a little bit clunky. If you are using an older version of Photoshop, you may need a different link:Īt the end of the last link, it does say that if all else fails, use the WIA. If you are using Photoshop CS6 or later, here is the link for the plug-in: When the Epson was uninstalled before, it probably also removed the plug-in To re-enable TWAIN capabilities, you just have to copy the TWAIN plug-in from one folder to another." Because of the high number of people encountering such conflicts, we decided to make the TWAIN plug-in optional. This could create conflicts that would prevent Photoshop Elements from launching. Scanners are not the only devices that might use a TWAIN driver (web cameras are another such popular device). While previous versions of Photoshop Elements had this plug-in automatically installed, we found that conflicts arose. This is straight from Adobe: " In order for Photoshop Elements to communicate with a TWAIN driver, it needs a plug-in.
