1. Why did this error not appear until today? I was able to edit the first pic but when I went to browse for the second pic, I got the error?
2. What does your command line suggestion above actually DO? Will it affect nero express in some way? I paid good $ for that app!

We have a lot more information about this problem now and we can easily answer these questions:

1. The error did not appear until today because you didn't browse to a particular directory containing those pictures that cause the problem until today.

2. the command line suggestion removes one of nero's active-x controls that is known to cause the problem. This may effect the way that nero works, but it doesn't appear to. I believe that particular nero component is a direct media codec for video playback, so it can be used for playing back video as well as effecting how some files display their thumbnails in windows.

To answer "Merce" above, this problem is not only caused by Nero. We have two other solutions. One is to simply drag and drop your pictures into Portrait Professional, and the other is to stop Portrait Professional displaying thumbnails when browsing for pictures. Both of these problems avoid using the built-in windows functionality for displaying thumbnails within Portrait Professional, and so the external software causing the problem is avoided.
