bad photos in screen saver?

I've experienced this a couple times: whenever I have the problem of screen
saver stopping when I'm using my own photo folders for screen saver I've been
able to fix the problem through the process of elimination. I've found that
some of my photos stops screen savers. Screen saver stops on the "bad" photo
and displays it with about 10% opacity. When I remove the "bad" photo then
screen saver works fine. The "bad" photos were jpeg and bitmap. The "bad"
photos work in screen saver preview and Galley slideshow but stopin screen
saver. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know what causes this?

Please, don't reply if you don't have any technical information to share.

"Bad" photo debunked:

The "bad" photo theory which was offered by other MS posters as an
explanation to a screen saver problem is actually an intermittent problem and
has nothing to do with the so-called "bad" photo.

Problem: screen saver in photo slide show mode stops after a few minutes.
Fix: update graphic card driver.

Note: After loading SP1 it's best to check the computer manufacturer's
website for driver and BIOS updates that may fix problems that SP1 may cause
on some computers.
