The CS3 recognozed it, I edited the image on the list, and saved it. If I remove the stick, the image reverts to ?????? in the display. When I plug it back in, it reappears. A red update dot is also now showing in the systems box. CS3 is not and was not connected to the internet. Why is it saying there s an update? Can you only upload permamnent images from the web, and not a stick? The only research I've found on how to is reffering to a CS2, not a 3. Thank's in advance if anyone is able to assist!

Digital disaster Mike. Hi This is quite normal. What you did is to indicate the Icon name in your USB. If you remove the USB memory then for the CS3 it has disappeared hence the ??? You have to copy the icon file on your USB stick into the CS3 internal memory or to the SD memory if you installed one. If I remember correctly you have to be in the loco edit mode to transfer the image into the CS3 memory Cheers Jean

The edit locomotive window was open, and I clicked save and ok checkmark. Once the CS3 was started this morning the icon appeared for the locomotive.
