transferring photos to a compact flash

Rename one of the files that will not transfer to a name with up to eight
characters, such as poabcfdg.jpg (assuming jpeg files.)
Some camera memory cards use a formatting type that will not accept long
file names.
Another issue can be that the picture files are in a desktop folder instead
of a subdirectory on the C: drive. This is confusing, but a major difference
seems to be the length of the directory tree structure used to get to the
file. On my system, C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\My Pictures
from the desktop.
You might also try using C:\pictures as a subdirectory for transfer, and see
if that helps.
