    Strange Problem with Pictures and Documents
    « on: March 30, 2020, 09:14:58 AM »
    First, I am a computer moron. Computers scare me. I had a strange thing happen about a week ago, out of the blue. I did NOTHING different or new, added nothing (would not know how, anyway). All of a sudden, overlaying most of the pictures and documents in My Pictures and My Documents, I got a square blue box with two >> in it.

    Now, today, they have all changed to green boxes with a check mark in them. Then shortly after, some are covered with the green boxes and some with the blue.
    Can this be caused by Microsoft and the fact that I still have Windows 7? Or something else?

    Thank you for any help. Please explain in goo-goo English.

      That was an educated reply, how about helping me with the card reader problem. I am getting desperate.
