That's the scanner I have..
It doesn't like to scan any of my sketches, nor does it like to scan at the settings I've told it to.
It also saves the image to whatever folder it feels like rather than letting me specify where I want them saved to.
Sometimes it will save them into it's slideshow 'scanned images' place, other times it will save it in another place.
And apparently there is nothing wrong with it or it's program!
Of course, it may just be this particular scanner and only this scanner.
My first scanner was a Umax.
Unfortunately, it was rather small, and is not WinXP compatible.
It wouldn't do your sketches? I scanned a page out of my Senior Year HS yearbood and it came out a bit grainy. But I attributed that to the yearbook, not the scanner. (But I haven't tried to fiddle with the settings, etc. yet, either. So I may be able to overcome it when I get time to read the information that came with it, haha! I've just been scanning with whatever the defaults are).It also saves the image to whatever folder it feels like rather than letting me specify where I want them saved to.
When I scan pics, it brings up a window that DOES have a "Browse" button and it lets me select WHERE I want the pics scanned to. At first, I had the same problem you did until I used the "Browse" button and selected where I wanted them to go.
There is also a line in that window that allows you to "name" the photo scans when saving them. (Example: Yesterday the AC/Heater thermostat in my house bit the dust. I took some photos of it to send to my buddy so he could help me figure out some stuff on the replacement. When I scanned the pics I typed in "Thermostat" and it scanned the pics and saved them as "Thermostat001", "Thermostat002", etc.).
