Photoshop CS & SilverFast SE Scan

Question

When I first installed my Epson 3200 scanner, I used Photoshop 5.5. Photoshop Elements came with the scanner and both the 'Epson Scan' and 'SilverFast SE' were listed in my Photoshop to use.   When I upgraded to CS, I lost the 'Silverfast SE' and can only scan to 'Epson Scan' now. I reinstalled the scanner and the 'Silverfast SE', but I still can only get the 'Epson Scan.'   The ''Lasersoft ' (silverfast) is listed in my program files, but when I click on it, get a box that shows 'SF App V1.1.2.  It shows 'choose plug in folder', but only gives me the 'cancel' option.   How can I get my 'SilverFast' back to scan in Photoshop CS?   In my list of program files, I still have Photoshop 5.5 listed, but when clicked on, comes up as CS. I also, have Photoshop Elements in my program files, but it too only lets me use the 'Epson Scan.' How can I clean up this mess, keep my CS and get my Silver Fast back with the Epson Scan?

I'm not at all sure this will work, but open Photoshop and click the help tab.  Choose update and see if the new plug-in will load.  You can see what plug-ins are installed by clicking the plug-in menu also found in the help tab.

If you find the plug-in, Silverfast listed in Photoshop, you may only use it from Photoshop aps.
