I have a new Sony DSC-F717. The operating system I am using Windows XP home. I have taken and dumped digital photos off of it about 4 times now. Tonight was My daughter's Senior Dance. This is the first time I have taken enough photos to fill the 256MB memory stick. I have tried drag and drop and also the photo transfer from the menu that renames the pictures. I get about 16 pictures off, then the camera window closes and reopens. I get an error message saying cannot copy file "Parameter Incorrect". I tried draging the photo in question as a single and get the same error. I tried dragging photos numbered after the one that won't go and get the same error. Photos show up in play mode. All the photos have good thumbnails when I open the sony card through the USB connection. I've read the Sony manual looking for this error and can't find any information. I was about to try deleting the first 16 images or removing and reseating the Sony memory card. I don't want to do anything I can't recover from. If anyone has fixed this problem please tell me how. Thanks,
