Hi All,
I have a range of photos that appear to be damaged or corrupt possibly -
Irfanview states:as attached...
File size is 3.13mb according to properties.
Windows Picture and fax will not open neither will Paint, or Photoshop.
Microsoft Office Picture Manager - shows a red cross in the middle of the screen.
Interesting but opening with Notepad:
"! c r y p t e d ! 2 C E 4 A B 1 D A A C C D 1 C 9 E E 7 F 0 8 F A B E 1 D 6 F 0 5 S(N)ʳ9GٶQ>>aM%vGo9M# >w:4hy=IZ}J`t%v]ZNoD%N,"
Are the files corrupt or in someway repairable - these are pictures of my family so i am very keen to:
1) find out what's happened
2) recover and back up if possible
I had a serious virus a few months back that nearly knocked my PC out - had this affected these pictures?
Thanks all
