jpeg troubles

[r2ons]

I am having trouble displaying jpeg images. I have tried everything, I know [which isn't much but at least I tried] When I open an image folder and select to view imagesas thumbnails all I get is "no preview available" which I cannot do anything with. As a result I have lost many photos and other items.
Can anyone suggest anything, this is driving me crazy? thanks r2ons

sounds like your hard drive is corrupted, did you recently have a power surge? try and run scandisk and have it fix all errors

Thanks for the suggestion, I have tried that now but all is still the same. at this time throwing it out the window sounds good.

Thanks, I am sorry but I simply have little understanding of these things, I was simply trying to find an answer. I have windows XP Home. Will this transfer somewhere else automatically, or have I now been excluded? How will I find if I get any answersif I have not?

heh heh...

I'm not gonna hide it from you :)

Do any files show up in those folders at all? Does 'View as Filmstrip' work?
