Abstract: Seiberg and Witten's proposed solution of N=2 SQCD with N_c=2 and N_F=4 is known to conflict with instanton calculations in three distinct ways. Here we show how to resolve all three discrepancies, simply by reparametrizing the elliptic curve in terms of quantities $a{u}_{eff}^0$ and $ildeu$ rather than $au$ and $u=<Tr{A}^2>$. SL(2,Z) invariance of the curve is preserved. However, there is now an infinite ambiguity in the relation between $a{u}_{eff}^0$ and $au$ and between $ildeu$ and $u$, corresponding to an infinite number of unknown coefficients in the instanton expansion. Thus the reinterpreted curve (unlike the cases N_F<4) no longer determines the quantum modulus u as a function of the classical VEV a.
