Steve, thank you for the late response. I realize that this is dragging on.

I get this information by right clicking the picture file( in My Documents)>
 properties> summary> advanced and scrolling down to color representation. I
can also get there through clicking Windows Explorer.

I can't change lenses because the older lense no longer functions(I believe
that a problem between lenses is a red herring anyway).

However, tomorrow I will set the color representation property to sRGB, take
a new pictire and USB the camera file directly to the computer and My
Documents. I have also learned how to override the Dell software.

I will report back tomorrow night. My thanks to you and Sonia for your
help.Ron
