Digital Photo Frames ? image fails

[fortkentdad]

Well it's kinda PC hardware related?

And it is driving me nuts.

I've copied a few thousand (well close to 7,000) images onto a 8 GB SD card from my photo collection for a new photo frame I bought. And I get the odd image that shows up as a question mark on the screen. I've reviewed the photo's on my PC and do not see anything amiss. I checked to make sure they were all JPG images (a few RAW's got caught in my copying frenzy, but I'm almost certain there are no more left and that all the files on the SD card are JPG's. I also checked to make sure there were no images of less than about 20 mb's - but even those tiny images showed up fine on my PC. These tend to be cropped images from the 90's when I had a 1.2 megapixel camera ~ remember those?

The card is a Class 4 Scandisk 8 GB card playing on a new Sony LED photo frame. I'm just guessing but would estimate that about one image every 100 shows up as a ? so its not that common but common enough and very annoying. The frame does not display the name of the offending image. I might try copying all the images onto a USB key and seeing if that works any better.

Anybody know what is going on and why I get these ? images that do not show up when I check the disk on my PC?

Is there a maximum resolution limit?

Good to know, but this is a basic SDHC Card - and I would suspect that if this was the problem I would not see any of the pictures, not just the odd one here and there.
