I am having trouble using the "preview" photo viewer that comes with Snow Leopard OS. I burned some pictures to a cd from an SD card. They burned with no problems, but when I inserted the cd to later to show my brother his pictures I thought I use this preview feature. It loads fine, but during the viewing after a minute or so it always crashes. This is the first time I have tried to use this application. I will post my system information along with the crash details. I have a copy of the complete list of details, but due to length I will only include the first part. If the rest is needed, just let me know. Also, is there another, or better alternative, to view photos from a cd?

Btw, I sent this information to Apple when it asked if I wanted to. Thank you for your time and advice.

My first guess is that one of the files on the CD is corrupted in a way that crashes Preview. Can you try viewing the same files in Preview off the SD card?

I just tried viewing from the SD card itself and it never crashed. Did I cause the corruption when I burned it? Does this just happen from time to time? I will try to burn it again, on a different brand cd, to see if it burns without errors.
