Fortunately I have a laptop without WINXP SP2 installed, and that machine
handled the projects without this problem. I don't know if it has something
to do with SP2 or not. But as soon as I add a few effects to a group of jpg
files I lose the preview screen and then I am unable to do anything with them
- or the program for that manner. Same with bmp files.
I guess this is a good reason not to mess with SP2 on my laptop.
