mReinstall the CD-ROM and QuickTime software. The easiest way to do this is by reinstalling your system software, following the instructions in Chapter 11, “Diagnostic Techniques.”

Your computer does not display color icons for individual images on a Photo CD.

mYour computer may be low on memory. To view color icons, restart your computer and then reopen the Photos folder. See Macintosh Guide (or Mac OS Guide), available in the Guide (h) menu, for more information on managing memory.

After you open an image file on a Photo CD, the image is scrambled, colors are displayed incorrectly, or no image appears in the window.

mThe program you are using may not be designed to work with large (high- resolution) image files. You can open the image with another program or you can assign more memory to the program. See Macintosh Guide (or Mac OS Guide), available in the Guide (h) menu, for more information on managing memory.

After you open an image on a Photo CD, your system “freezes” and does not respond to any input, or you have a “bomb” message on your screen.

mRestart your Macintosh. (If you need help restarting your computer, see Chapter 9, “Start Here If Trouble Occurs.” The program you are using may not be designed to work with large (high-resolution) image files.
