Ar-r-gh-ghg!!! Digital Frames!!

Help, please help!!

My wife bought a 9inch Pandigital Digital photo frame for her mother with donations from her sisters and guess who gets to figure it out. After perusing the manual I purchased a 2gb sd card and thus began my troubles. At around the 200 mb point a window pops up saying that the file it is currently copying cannot be copied, that and any other file I try to copy there after. I thought it was the card so I bought another. No dice. I erased the first card and it again copied but only up to a bit over 200mb. I then thought it was the fault of the card reader so then I tried to copy the files through the digital photo frame itself with the same result. I tried other usb ports on the computer but alas, also to no avail. My computer is a quadcore amd with 4gb ram and a win xp operating system. I know I'm dumb but it feels as if I'm getting dumber by the minute. Any got an idea??

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.
