Guest tewkes Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Corrupted files I have the same problem now with JPG files. Doesn't matter what program and even old files are corrupt - about 20-30% of them. No pattern on which ones - ie. time, camera, SD card, etc. Very frustrated with this issue - no support from HP or Windows so far. I have this figured to be a Vista problem. Please let me know if you got it resolved on your computer. Thanks. "tawjr1" wrote: > > > Thanks for your help.

Guest dobey Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Corrupted files Re: Corrupted files Well it could be to do with the way Vista is handling files. If you could view them before under another OS, then it's not likely they are corrupt, or there is such a tiny amount of corruption in them that the picture is unaffected and some program is over zealous on handling errors. It could be simply the way the file header is written by the program that created the file. If you happen to be reading these from CD, it is possible your CD is damaged, failing, or the files were never written properly in the first place. I have seen CDs people write that they never bothered to verify before deleting the files from the HDD. It can also be a chipset driver problem causing the files not to be written properly to the HDD, though I woud expect this to affect most files on your PC, and before too long the OS. Try these files on another machine running Vista and see what happens.
