It was something to do with Thumbs.db file. It was only a problem with that folder, don't know why. I opened a new folder for my pics and the problem vanished.

Gerry if you have a scanner you could scan the damaged ones and send them to me to try fixing. I am no expert but I enjoy those kinds of tasks. Just send one if you like so you can see how it turns out. I use Corel PhotoPaint but any better photo editing program will do the job. There is quite a learning curve though. When I started it would take me 40 minutes to swap a head, now I can do it in few minutes and the result is much better than my early days - mostly LOL. I have linked Gimp below, this is a free photo editing program you might like to try. You should grab the manual as well as the program perhaps. If you decide to send any please scan as bitmaps (bmp) rather than jpg and create a file of 2 megabytes or more so we have something good to start on. You can send it to earoles at canada.com - remove spaces and change 'at' to @ of course. Here is a link that might be useful: Gimp photo editor

I just x out the menus and right click on the drive and choose open. Sometimes I use an option in one of the menus...to open. I do songs, photos and my ex hd the same way.

I have seen some really nice decals that don't look cheap, because they aren't :) but I agree most do peel and look cheap. I would find some stencils instead. Or use some painters tape for a straight edge frame, then to add texture by painting over lace or stickers (peel off) for a nice design. I would also really consider going to a goodwill and just find some frames and spray paint them, easier and less time consuming IMO. I did this and when I get sick of them all I need to do is spray them again or take them down. It is only paint so good luck!
