￿Only supported image file types display in the Pictures + Videos area of Windows Media Center. Unsupported files are skipped in a slide show.

NOTE: If the message Image cannot be displayed appears, the file may be corrupted, or it may be an unsupported file type. You may need to edit the image with a photo editor and save it in a supported file format.

￿Folder icons appear even if the images inside them cannot be displayed.

￿Corrupted and unsupported image file types display a generic image icon, but they cannot be displayed.

￿Some file types are supported only if appropriate filters and software are installed.
