After scanning my pix for sometime, everything saved as normal. About 2 wks ago, for some reason, now when I "save as" to My Picture folder, they are saving even smaller than the standard thumbnail size. I've tried everything I know, even reinstalled scanner software, used all available programs to resize, (and that works)but still won't stay "saved" at the normal size the original ones did......any suggestions?

Are just the thumbnails smaller or the actual pictures. Are the file sizes now smaller ?. If they are then you have changed the resolution or are applying compression / saving in a different format e.g. saving as a jpg instead of a bmp
