    Temporary user ID and "twain source error"


    When I powered up my computer, it said it had to open with a temporary user profile. I now have a "shell" platform to operate with. How do I get my regular log in user ID back and my programs. My files are still on the computer under my user name. But the computer only restarts up with a temporary user profile.

    :)

    Scanner Twain Source

    I have an Epson Scanner Printer Fax Workpro WF 3720 wireless. I have downloaded all the current drivers and software and yet it says that when I go in my adobe photoshop to do a scan that there is no valid twain source and I should go to windows to set
    the twain source. I have no clue how to do that or where to find that. Windows help window in a search can not find anything on twain source.

    Help!

    Unable to open TWAIN source


    Thank you Fabrizio!

    This had been driving me nuts. My LIDE 60 scanner had been working perfectly with my HP Envy laptop until I upgraded Windows 10 to build 1607, and then I got the error message about Twain. The Windows troubleshooter insisted that it was a USB3 problem. I do not have USB2 on the laptop, but easily disproved that theory by using the scanner on a desktop running the same operating system, with no difficulty under both USB2 and USB3. Reinstalling the drivers made no difference, but editing the Path variable as you suggested solved the problem instantly. It is disappointing that the troubleshooter should have missed something so basic - yet so obscure for people not familiar with DOS.
