I guess my last post was confusing. I was mostly describing what was wrong with the picture viewer that comes with zunes.

There is a max sized image that the zune pc software is supposed to import onto the zune hardware. You can get around this as I said, but the makers of the firmware did not have those larger images in mind when they wrote it. I figure that there is just a lot going on in the back ground that is not there when you are running a game, because the zune is of course plenty powerful enough to move around an average sized picture.

You can get pictures to large for it to draw at all though. They are way bigger than you would ever normally deal with though. I tried stringing together all the pictures in a comic one time just so I would not need to zoom out between each page turn. So the image was thousands of pixels tall and it would not open in the zune. A version with fewer pages per image did open and did zoom in by the same amount as a normal image would. That is to say before it is zoomed in it is re sized to fit the window, and when zoomed it is at its actual size.
