Hi Carol and list, This is just the kind of exchange I was looking for when I posed this issue. The size of my folder is 97.5 megabytes. See, I told you it was huge. Yours is small in comparison, so yes, I would give it time to open. Do let us know if inserting the network card in the compact flash card slot makes a difference.
