Donna, if this is only a few files that this is happening to, it sounds like those files may be corrupt. They could have become corrupted when you imported them into LR. How are you importing the files? Are you importing directly from the camera, or taking the card out of the camera and inserting it into a card reader in the computer? I had a similar problem quite a few years ago when I hooked the USB cable that came with the camera directly from the camera to the PC. I have always been told and have also read that it is best to import files by inserting the card into a card reader, as importing with the card in the camera into LR could cause problems. Also, do you reformat your cards after you import the files in LR and before using them again? Reformatting will make sure that the card is completely clean, that all data is removed from it and can also reduce the risk of data corruption. Just erasing files from a card does not clean all file data from it, and can possibly lead to files becoming corrupt.

I have never used the USB cable, Vince. I have always imported with the card directly via LR until the card reader stopped working. Then I started putting the card into a card reader and into a USB port. I always reformat my cards after every job or excursion. Thanks for your reply.

That sounds like a LOT of expended energy, dcampbell! Not sure I'm up to all that. May have to try Microsoft since we have that coverage. Thanks for your reply.
