OK I give. In the past I have simply been able to "drag and drop" my wifes
vacation pictures from the HD to the DVD icon them simply copy to the -R DVD.
Now for "some" reason when I try this mundane task get first a message that
some"extra material" will be lost if can continue copying. This happens
immediatly on the first .JPG . I click continue, then immediatly I get
another error message is entiltled "STREAM LOSS" and goes on to tell me that
windows has encountered a problem copying this file. My options are retry or
cancel or skip. Retry gives me the same result. and skip brings up the
next .jpg with the same result. I thought it might be a problem with the
media (
dvd) so I tried with a CD-R disc. Same problem. It appear never to even try
to start the acutal write process because the DVD drive never even spins up.
Some of these jpg's are rather large (> 10 meg ) others are small ( < 500k )

I have SP 2 professional installed on a 2.8 GHZ system with 1 Gig ram. Any
help would be appreciated. Like I said worked fine a couple months back...but
now ? Thanks!

Hello,

Like Treeman was saying, this may be realted to the thumbs.db file. I found
a mention of the error message but you need to confirm this is what you are
seeing.

"Confirm Stream Loss: The file Thumbs.db has extra information attached to
it that might be lost if you continue copying."

If that is it, then just don't try to copy thumbs.db to the CD or DVD.

Let us know how that goes.
Thanks,
