But that wasn't a matter of the software returning the setting to the
default mode. I never changed it from the default in the first place, at
least not until now.

“Are you really surprised by the endurance of religion? What ideology is likely
to be more durable than one that conforms, at every turn, to our powers of
wishful thinking? Hope is easy; knowledge is hard. Science is the one domain in
which we human beings make a truly heroic effort to counter our innate biases
and wishful thinking. Science is the one endeavor in which we have developed a
refined methodology for separating what a person hopes is true from what he has
good reason to believe. The methodology isn't perfect, and the history of
science is riddled with abject failures of scientific objectivity. But that is
just the point-these have been failures of science, discovered and corrected
by-what, religion? No, by good science.”

I have had many programs change settings on me on their own back to the default. It happens for lots of reasons, like when the software has an internal error and fixes itself. It can also happen during a Windows update. It shouldn't, but it does. It can happen when you change versions of Windows, but it can also happen from one of their daily updates.
It's really frustrating.
I spent four days last week fixing problems caused on our laptop by a daily windows update that biffed settings on other software. The most useless part of that time was on direct calls to Microsoft support. Every "solution"they wanted me to do was dead wrong. I finally figured it out myself.

Like I said, I have now changed that setting to most accurate and when I
manage to get through my email I may test it with a single page if I get
the time. But I wonder this. I have let that setting in the default mode
ever since I got this version of Open Book. That would have been when I
upgraded to Windows 7 and found out that my earlier version of Open Book
was not compatible with Windows 7. I am now using Windows 10. Since that
time I have scanned many books that are now in the Bookshare collection.
So why did this problem crop up just recently?

Roger, the settings Judy wrote about are the ones I use. I had
had the same problem you now have. Those settings work fine.
If I can be of any help, please let me know. I scan the way
you do and I absolutely know how frustrating and
time-consuming it can be when books are rejected. But don't
give up. I am tempted sometimes but then what...? Sister
