My Pictures

[surfer girl44]

Ever since I added some new pics from my camera to "My Pictures" I haven't been able to access ANY of the camera pics I have ever uploaded (all that comes up is the flashlight icon). And now my computer has started to freeze when I try to save a pic from the internet. Any advice or help as to how I can access my pictures and save and download new ones again would be much appreciated

Try going to mspaint (start --> all programs --> accessories --> paint).
In Paint, go to File --> Open and open a picture.

I suspect the file association has been changed. This will test if you can open the pictures or not.

Thanks for the reply
I tried what you said (opening the pics through paint) and the same thing happened. The flashlight came up and the pictures don't appear.

Hmmm....What Flash Light?


Can you give us a screenshot?

What kind of camera and how does it show uo in Device Manager ? ?

It's a little flashlight that comes up in the middle of the page when I try to open my uploaded pictures file in my pictures (and when I try to open pictures in paint). It shines back and forth and has a file behind it.

It's a Samsung Digimax A7 and it shows up in device manager as Samsung DSC DKJ2 USB Device

Have you tried opening them with another image program such as Irfanview (FREE) or Windows Picture viewer ? ?
Are they saved in the .tiff or .jpeg format ? ?

I haven't tried that yet, but they're saved in .jpeg
