Any P4 level machine should be able to handle photos easily, even 5-7 megapixel ones (but you weren't real specific). I'm going to guess this is a problem with whatever app you're using to process the pix. Try updating it or un/reinstalling it. Be more specific about what part of the process is slow, e.g. when you drag a pic onto Windows Media Player is it slow to display it?
What's slow is "painting" the thumbnails of a few hundred photos (1.5-3 Mb apiece) located in a folder on the hard drive. The upload is equally slow in Windows explorer or my apps (Corel Ulead or Photoshop Elements Organizer). Most especially, when I weant to rotate a picture, it takes 30-60 seconds/picture, so its hard to manage a few dozen at a time.
Maybe I expect too much? ___________________________________ Quentin Fisher Bethesda, MD ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
