Hi Daniel !
Hooray ! I did the following per your solution:
1. I renamed the file to "Waiting".
2. changed the file type from JPG to PNG.
3. Changed the font color to Lt. Green.
4 Changed the Directory to Downloads.

Now the darn thing works fine !
Moved the file "Waiting.png" back to Pictures and Still works fine.

thanks very much for your solution and guidance.
