Corrupted jpg files - Anyone else see this?
On my Vista Ultimate machine I create a number of jpg files. They are around
200k each. The thumbnails and files display fine. I copy the files to my W2K3 server and they still display fine on my machine. When my wife tries to look at the files, both the thumbnails and viewing the files in Windows photo viewer shows corrupted images. The corruption ranges from parts of the image missing showing grey, or with lines in it. This persists even if we copy the images to her machine. Has anyone seen anything like this? Thanks |

Corrupted jpg files - Anyone else see this?
YES!!! Several times. See my other posts to several microsoft forums.
Vista file handling, especially over networks, is really nasty. I am now afraid to copy stuff over the network. It appears to be a problem with something called 'permissions' and is especially troublesome with USB devices connected via networks. I have a Vista laptop connected to my wife's desktop running XP. The desktop is connected to an external HD by a USB port. When I copy photos from my camera (Olympus) connected to the USB port of the laptop, via the network to the USB HD connected to the desktop using Windows Gallery or even just by folders, it strips the jpg markers from the files making them unreadable. I also have found that when I import Olympus photos via Windows Gallery even direct to the laptop, it doesn't corrupt the whole file like it does over the network, but it still overwrites the Olympus markers that tell the Olympus photo software that the picture is part of a panorama, thus rendering it unable to be stitched by the Camedia software. When you look at the files in a text editor, you can see that amongst all the hexadecimal rubbish the english words such as "Olympus Camera" etc have been replaced by things like "Windows Gallery" and the name of the folder you imported to. Vista file handling is a bad joke. I advise no one to import photos using Gallery. It's just not safe. And certainly don't use it from USB devices to other USB devices via a network because it WILL CORRUPT YOUR JPG FILES! Greg "Michael Price" wrote in message ...

Greg --
Please let me know what you find out on how to fix this. I'm having the identical problem and I'm upset that I may lose 33% of the photos I've taken the past 8-9 years if this can't be fixed. Even when I take the external drive and put it on my XP system, all files are corrupt now from XP. Kris "Greg" wrote: YES!!! Several times. See my other posts to several microsoft forums.

Corrupted jpg files - Anyone else see this?
Have found out absolutely nothing from MS help. Will let you know if I do
find a fix. The only sure solution I have found so far is to use Adobe Album to import and manage the pictures instead. DO YOU HEAR THAT MICROSOFT? Your product you made to compete with Adobe is forcing people INTO their arms, not away from them! If anyone from MS is listening, it's in your own best interests to fix this fast.

Thanks for the response, but importing to another program is not an option
for me. The files are all corrupt and my HD that had the originals is dead and I cannot recover anything from it. Please keep me posted and I will do the same.

Vista Corrupting jpg files
I lost over 3,000 out of 54,000 photos on a 1 TB usb drive. Fortunately, I had another drive as backup that only got 2,000 files corrupted, and most were different files. This happened several times after I first got a Vista machine several months ago. It finally took me a day to re-integrate the two sets of files to get one complete set.
I am a member of MSDN (Microsloth Developer's Network) and am an IT Manager and Systems Analyst. The most basic, fundamental thing an OS should do is not destroy files. I scoured the MS forums, and the MSDN forums and found this issue has existed since Vista was released, and that the OS was released even though they knew this problem existed. 3 years later, they have still not figured out the cause, nor any way to recover the files. (this directly from MicroSloth development team) I installed Linux on my machine in a dual-boot configuration, and found myself returning to Vista for a week or two until I was sure of Linux's capabilities. I haven't opened Vista in over 3 months now, and don't miss it one bit. What a useless heap of garbage peddled by MicroSloth. Right now, if I wanted to log into Vista, I'd absolutely make sure I unplugged all my external hard drives prior to doing it. I don't want to have to do that, and would kind of like to have access to my friggin files if I log into that OS. I have a free "upgrade" certificate for Windows 7 now, and am curious if anyone knows if this issue affects that OS too? tewke wrote: Thanks for the response, but importing to another program is not an option for 28-Jul-07 Thanks for the response, but importing to another program is not an option for me.
