Normally when I copy vid files from my PC to the PPC, I don't get a completed message. But the file copying window does show that the files are being transfered. Are you using ActiveSync 3.6? I'm not too positve on the time-out setting. But your spreadsheets are going through. Your case doesn't seem to be like any other who have trouble copying large files. Like here:

A USB hub may help you or a card reader, but that's more money to invest in if you want to.
