I did notice the 640x480 thing. I transferred all my photos to my PC and reformatted my media card. I'll see if that works. Maybe I'm making too much of this, but its becoming a mission now. I'm glad to hear somebody else is having the same problem. I thought I did something wrong with the upgrade. Thank you Max and Kelly for the info. I did notice the 640×480 thing.

However, a pre-upgrade graphic file (not a photo) worked. And post-upgrade photos worked. I tested to see if it mattered whether the failing photos were in Device Memory or on Media Card. It didn't matter. I tried renaming the files. No difference. The failing files were all 640x480. I took a new photo that was 640x480. It worked. So whatever the difference is between working and non-working images, it is a subtle difference. Kelly max (and William),

About the wallpapers, are you sure the image files are in an acceptable format? What if you try one of the sample photos included with the OS? Certainly those should work. That will tell you if your images are to "blame" or if something worse is wrong. Kelly William,

I can't set any of them as my home screen wallpaper. When I try, the screen shows a blank screen. Any ideas? Also, is there a way I can transfer some pictures from my storm to my PC without using the desktop manager? I'm having problems with that trying to back up my databases on my storm.
