The JPG file at the URL above is listed as 22348x4487x3 in size. Attempted
download caused virtual memory error. Two subsequent reboots got only as far as
"Applying security..." and system started looping, based on disk activity light.
 After boot into safe mode, and chkdsk removing several unreadable folders in
second partition (no previous errors there), system finally booted normally.
