RED X 3 in a ROW!!! "Will Hertz" <king_cucaracha[ at ]hotmail.com> 28.09.2006 07:59:14 I get the red X on three differente computers!!!! conditions? Win 2k SP4 PowerPoint XP Nikon D50 Pictures. Each and every picture taken with NIKON D50 at medium resolution, and High Quality compression JPG brings me to the mysterious Red X. The three computers have very different h/w, one is an Athlon 64 3000+ with a 128mb ATI Radeon 9250 and 512mb ram,. the other has the same uP on different MoBo but uses a GeForce MX200 with 64mb ram, the other is an ECS MoBo with an AMD Duron itegrated. it has 512mb ram minus 32mb shared with on-board SIS gpu. So as you can imagine the 3 have very differente graphic cappabilities and everyona has different color depth and screen resolution. I hope this helps to MVP and Office developers. Regards Will

Re: RED X 3 in a ROW!!! "Will Hertz" <spamthis[ at ]nevertocome.jet> 28.09.2006 17:47:19 Hi TAJ, i have the nikon D50 set to medium resolution, that means they are: 2256 x 1496 px so there are about 3.3 megapixels each picture. with a 24 bit color depth, pictures are JPGs with EXIFF headers. I used the same resolution from an old Sony DSC S-75 (with maximum quality JPG) and never had the Red X. Might be something with Nikon's EXIFF headers? or maybe Nikon's JPG compression algorithms? I don't know anyway I always batch compress images before inserting them into PPT (performance reasons) but I love experimenting with several ways to make urgent work never come out(so I can show my clients the DO NOT list) LOL. Thanks for your quick answering TAJ. it's great being in this kind of NG. Regards nice pople.

The common factor is PPT XP and D50 JPGs then. Sounds like there's a conflict; perhaps PPT's JPG import filter doesn't understand something that the D50 or its software is doing. Try saving to another format ...

Re: RED X 3 in a ROW!!! "TAJ Simmons" <awesomebackgrounds[ at ]NOMORESPAM.nothing> 29.09.2006 09:03:37 Will, Try loading your JPGs in some other software and re-saving them. Does that do the trick? Do you need them at 2256x1496 for an on-screen presentation?
