Well I must have all corrupted JPEGs then because none of them work! I 
transferred
copies of the 8.6 desktop pictures from a system disk that is working to the 
7200
and they still don't work.  At one point they did not show up in the File Open
dialogue - folder names but no files!

I don't suspect a virus either. Is it possibe that something in the Finder 
itself
that is corrupt?
