[dba-Tech] File Sharing Problem

Gary,
have you tried to copy aone of the 'vertical' pics from the MyDocs to a 
different (new) folder like c:\pictures and see whether it behaves the same 
there?
also, if you like you can mail me a vertical and a horizontal pic and I can 
try whether it behaves here differently.
This will alow us to distinguish between error being in Picture or your PC 
setup.
