Hi Yustr,

I got it. I'd tried reformatting the card early on alas, to no avail. I then decided that maybe it just really didn't like sd cards so I stuck in my flash card. It did the same thing that the sd card did! So I tried this and that but then I found through sheer laziness what the matter was. I had been downloading the pictures directly onto the card. Once when I reformatted the card and was ready to re-download the pictures I just downloaded folder and all. It took the whole thing. Ah- Hah!, I said to myself. When I stuck the card into the frame it worked albeit slowly. I said to myself, "Self, let's carry this a bit further." I took all 2000 photo's, split them up into 4 folders and added one folder for music. It worked! On slideshow the photos switch every 4 seconds as they should, even with randomization and the music playing. Thanks for trying to help and kicking this dead brain into gear.
