Why 11 pictures out of 92 that I scanned with the same scanner in the same file at the same time won't transfer into my rennie. I have done every thing I can think of to get them in the rennie. My next step is to rescann just those but thats gonning to be a pain in the royal... Has any one experienced this before. I am pulling my hair out and I ain't got much to pull.

Did they happen to be black and white photos?

You need to scan in photos in color (even if they are black & white) to be compatible and if your scanner is set to auto detect it will scan a black & white photo as black & white rather than in the color format and this will make that scanned photo not readable in the MS editor.

My scanner was on auto detect, but there was a lot of b/w pictures that transfered. I will look at that friday. This job was the first time I used this scanner and my old one didn't have auto detect. I am not sure how to disable that feature. So I have to scan all pictures in color? Thanks Bob...

Thanks Mike, still got some of the memory cells left. 8-)

Bob, while all scanner software is different, most of the software will either have an area you can set a drop down bracket or a radio dial to specify color selection choice such as Color 48 bit or some such which will force all scans to scan in color.
