In partial answer to my question, after a preview scan, the Epson 
preview screen minimizes, which I hadn't noticed. In the past it stayed 
open and, after closing it, the scan window in PE was then useable. 
Without closing it, status is as I originally noted. Still to check why 
the Epson scan screen is automatically minimizing rather than staying 
open until I close it. Will take a look at the Epson software.
