Current system:

eMac with OS X.2 installed. Microtek Scanmaker 4800. I’ve scanned two pictures and I have absolutely no idea how I managed it. It has something to do with ScanWizard 5 version 7.00. The first time I got the whole scanner thing that I was used to from the last time I had a scanner years ago but the second time I didn’t. Believe me I realize exactly how vague I’m being but help me figure it out. Let me know if there’s any information about my set-up that you need to help you help me.

You know what? Never mind. I found what I needed after digging into some places where I didn’t think anything was located. Mods, feel free to lock this thread and let it die the stupid death it deserves.
