Elle,

"... see if I get the exposure I expected."  Ah, to learn this in the 
digital photography era.  The feedback loop is so much faster than it was 
with film!!

I take it that your computer has an established relationship with your 
scanner and has been a willing collaborator in the past.  Failure to 
recognize a former friend after a period of time has elapsed?  Are you sure 
that your machines are in a committed relationship?  Sounds like one of them 
did something that the other does not approve of ;~)
