What version of windows are you using?
If you go to Devices, printers and scanners, is the scanner listed?

Go to
C:\Users\user Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0
and delete the
Editor folder
That should reset all the pse 5 editor preferences.

The main things you will notice are the resetting of the pse 5 editor panels to default positions and you'll have to go to Edit>Preferences and look at the preferences you want checked/unchecked.
Won't delete any user saved presets or things like that, just resets the preferences, which are rebuilt to new after restarting the pse 5 editor.

Hi,
I suggest you check in the Device manager
[I don't have a W7 system so you might have to change some of the words in the following]
Close PSE
Load the Windows Device Manager: -
Open the Windows Control Panel
Select Hardware and Sound
Under Devices and Printers, click on Device Manager
In the Windows Device Manager
On the View menu, select Show Hidden Devices - this is Important
Expand Imaging Devices (might be scanners) by clicking on the > next to it
Do you should see you old scanner - Right click on it and select Uninstall Device
Close Device manager
Load PSE and check if your old scanner is still there

maybe these will help. NOTE we have an epson 1200U scanner that works and will list in PSE5 when we switch the scanner on.
the top listed one epson NX510 is the extra one.
thanks all

Hi,
In your device manager, did you show hidden devices and expand the Imaging device line?
Your scanner didn't show up there?

i clicked show hidden devices.
nothing else there.
this is really a minor irritation so i would not want you to spend too much time on it.
thanks
