Answer» K. Will do! I had no clue. When I get the space free, will the problem be corrected on the .jpg files or have they been damaged for good?I don't think, you caused any damages by running your computer with low disk space, and your problems may have some other causes, but we have to start with making your hard drive operable, first. Then, we'll see what's going on.ok. It took some work and alot of deleting, but I now have 14.3GB free disk space. What should I do now? Defragment? First... Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version. Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html, and run CCleaner. Then, defrag.alright, finally got it done. Took a long time to defrag. What next?is there anything else i can do to FIX the .jpg files?Are they showing in Windows Explorer ? ? If so right click one and select Open With and then choose your image viewing program from the drop down list...I just tried again, and I cannot opn the pictures in any program. all say Preview unavailable.How are these photos being listed in Explorer ? ? What programs have you tried to open them with ? ? Sorry for all the questions but they are necessary to understand what's happening... You may need to repair the thumbnail cache which would involve editing your Registry...is this something you would be comfortable doing yourself ? ?So Sorry for the delay in getting back to you Patio. Been crazy here. Ok, to answer your questions, In IE the pics just show a little red X. My Pictures Folder, click on the thumbnail, says "No Preview Available" Windows picture and fax viewer, "No Preview Available" Sony Picture Motion Browser, (came with my camera) all grey X Microsoft Office Picture manager, Red X Jasc Paint Shop, the specified file cannot be identified as a supported type Adobe Photoshop elements, Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short(the file may be truncated or incomplete) Microsoft Paint, Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported. HP Photoshop Premier, No preview or X, just blank Kodak Easyshare Software, Cannot read the file. The file exists, but may be damaged. I think I have tried every program I have... this started with just a few files in one folder. Now it is affecting some entire files and only parts of others. All are .jpg/.jpeg . I have cleaned up(deleted unneeded files, uninstalled programs I dont need or use), and defraged and run CCleaner. I cannot tell you when this all started. I installed SP3 about the same time I was making backup discs of all my pictures, so who knows what started it... Thank you so much for your help. I am lost and these are precious pictures of our kids, one a new baby. I cannot tell you how much i appreciate your guys help! Not sure if the files have been damaged or moved or other... Go to Start/Search and type in *.jpg and hit Enter... Give it time to load it may take awhile. You will now have a list of all .jpg's on your machine. Right click one of them and see if you can open it with the image viewer of your choice. Repeat the procedure for *.jpeg. Unfortunately this will be a tedious process to check them all but move the ones you need to the folder of choice and then you can organise them accordingly and burn them to CD/DVD Best of Luckok, I have the good .jpg and .jpeg files SAVED. The ones that would not open before are still not. I am wanting to make sure that this problem does not continue to new files. Is there a way to ensure the future files are okay to transfer to my laptop, then to CD without them messing up too? Also, do you think the damaged files are recoverable? Well we're getting somewhere at least... In a recent post someone had success with a Photo recovery program from Easus. Here is the Link. Check to see because i believe they had a 30 day Trial. I don't normally recommend buying software until you have tried it out. But as a side note i have used a few other PRODUCTS they have... Good Luck ! As far as preventing it in future... Keep your hard drive organised and clutter free. If you install a new app and don't LIKE it get rid of it immediately. Know where everything is on your drive. Get in to the habit of creating and maintaining your own folders instead of letting apps decide where stuff should land. Do your regular maintenence such as disk cleanup and defrag on a schedule. And last but not least ...Backup your important data regularly. |
