I am left guessing, but here goes:
The 1000 pages instead of 20 may be caused by:
* You have (by mistake) "aliased" multiple domains.
(a feature that is useful if you have website mirrors)
* Crawler filters. If you have a dynamic website
using "?" parameters to various pages, these pages will
be marked as different. (solution: Add "?" to filter)
The "slowness":
* Did you set it to verify external links? If the scanner encounters many 404s this may reduce the speed.
* What did you set the connections maximum to? If you
set it to e.g. one instead of the default (5) this
will have a huge negative impact on crawler speed.
"Generate sitemap failure"
As I understand, you wasn't able to
perform a website scan? Correct? In
that case no sitemap can be generated.
[NOTE to self: Show an error message!]
--
Under all cirstances, the project file
isn't located in the sitemap output directory.
Instead it is located where you saved it
(if you used the "save project" function).

Thanks for the assistance but I shouldn't have to email files to be able to use the software. And the files are missing when I go to the the output directory anyway. *C:\Program Files\Micro-Sys Software\Sitemap\temp\sitemap.html* The temp folder stays empty no matter how many times I run the program and I, like most young users on the web, don't have the patience to read a bunch of manuals or visit forums with trial software. My advice is this... give yourself a raise for your attitude and willingness to help, then fire everyone that made the software. I'll just find another way.

If you believe you only have 20 pages..
And the program seems to have found 1000+
It seems pointless waiting anymore, I agree! :-D
If you happen to still have the project file,
please email me it. Within a day or two I will
email you back with a configured project file
+ generated sitemap.
If you believe you only have 20 pages, the
scan ought'a take nomore than /around/ 30 seconds.
