| 91264 | 2002-10-21 01:03:00 | I have a number of CDR's full of digital photos. However when I go to view these, it is telling me they cannot open as they are in an unreadable format. I have never had this problem before, and would be gutted if all the 3-4000 photos are now no good. This was my main form of backup. They are all .jpg images. Can anyone help with a tool to fix this problem? I have tried opening them in both my CD Rom and CD Writer (D & E drive) but get the same message each time. Help please. |

| 91265 | 2002-10-21 02:01:00 | Are you able to view any other JPG's that are on your PC? You may just need to try and open them in a different program. What program are you trying to view them in? |

| 91266 | 2002-10-21 02:25:00 | wot OS r u using? U or somebidy else might have changed the file extensions by accident. If u think so in Win Xp go to tools, Folder options, thne click on View and untick "hide extensions for known file types" if u have an older version of windows just rename it and place a . and the file extension after it. eg. somepic.jpg or just try a different viewer like Irfan View (www.tucows.co.nz) which is a stable and reliable image viewer. cheers, v.K------------------- :D |

| 91267 | 2002-10-21 08:33:00 | I am using Win 98, the same photo editing programme I have been using for the past 4 years. There must be some software out there that can diagnose a CD and allow you to read whats on it. The file names all come up, the folder names, but still no photo. They are in jpg, and yes, I will try the one suggested as an alternative viewer. More help please. Its frustrating! |

| 91268 | 2002-10-21 08:44:00 | r you able to view any other jpg images that are on your PC? I strongly beleive that the file extension has changed because of a user or maybe a trojan. Have u scanned ur computer for viruses and trojans lately? | vk_dre (195) | ||
| 91269 | 2002-10-21 08:44:00 | try copying to hd and renaming with .jpg extention. I had a similar problem when I edited photos and saved the edited version. Put .jpg on the end and they were back to normal | wotz (335) | ||
| 91270 | 2002-10-21 08:56:00 | > try copying to hd and renaming with .jpg extention. that's exactly wot i said earlier valocon, have u tried that? if this doesn't work then u probably have changed the picture's properties, and it is displaying a blank picture thus no file. |

| 91271 | 2002-10-21 09:35:00 | Can one rename them all at once, or does one have to do each file individually? - which could take hours. | ssssss (2100) | ||
| 91272 | 2002-10-21 10:42:00 | >Can one rename them all at once, or does one have to do each file individually? - which could take hours. If you got DOS, yes. type: ren x:/directory/jpegs/*.* *.jpg and that will wizz you through it (substitue your own drive and directory) |

Some earlier brands were suseptical to early detioration. Hold it up to a light bulb (sorry globe :D) and see if you can see through it. If it is quite transparent, the CD may be knackered. Otherwise, has anything on your system changed since you last read a CD? |
