Title: .jpeg files are not available for preview - error messages when opening
Post by: Johnski2001 on May 25, 2014, 01:06:46 PM

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

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
