I am trying to put pictures on a 2GB memory stick and it's about half full. But all of a sudden, the message "The directory or file cannot be created" I have been at it for two hours and everything was fine until now. I have lots of room left and it's won't copy pictures anymore. PLease help!

Start over, delete all the files and make a folder on the stick. Then copy the pictures to that folder. There's a limit to how many files you can put in the root of a drive.
