Most of my photos are 2048 x 1536 and 1Mb.
I can move a good few of those with no problem and I only have 500Meg memory.
Do you have any other applications open when you are trying to move pics?
How full is your hard drive?
How big is the Paging file (virtual memory)? Look in system properties.
Just realised you are connecting the camera by USB? I use a card reader.
I'll try mine on USB.
