for reasons unknown I tried to scan slides .. the preview showed up
correctly at first , then it suddenly switched to reflective ..instead
of film.. and I couldnt get it back.
rebooted, etc etc.. I have it set on professional mode as always and all
the other triggers allow me to change them but the little box where it
says reflective on top line and film below doesnt allow me to
change to film.

I took the computer off line in cse it had something with wonky things
on line but that didnt help... afraid to change it to home mode  or
office mode etc
luckily I have gotten all of november and a few days of December scanned
(for my project some of you know about)

this was on top of my slide projector bulb dying jsut last night ... is
Mercury in retrograde??  ugh

as I said.. help!
