Re: cannot open jpg file "C.M.G." <cmg[ at ]ohiorepromed.moc> 12.07.2007 17:44:55 Don, Thanks for the reply. No, it is not "read only." When I right click it, the context menu does not offer "properties." When I go to file/properties, the properties window is completely empty (although the file name is shown in the title bar of that window). Clem.

Re: cannot open jpg file "C.M.G." <cmg[ at ]ohiorepromed.moc> 12.07.2007 17:54:49 Dear --, Thanks for your reply. After understanding the problem, I simply copied the folder containing the file in question to a directory closer to the root directory. Then I renamed the file with a shorter name and copied the folder back to the original directory location -- no more problems. Clem.
