error opening file - (file included)
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2012 10:54 am
hi all, i have a serious issue (not necessarily with xnview) and i need your help to find the cause
history
i recently installed windows 7 pro x64 von a new hard drive and i placed some pictures in the Pictures folder and in other folders as well
i installed several windows updates and xnview
i used 'choose default program' (~'always open with') in order to associate some files with xnview on the fly
problem
today i noticed that some of the thumbnails in my Pictures folder (so far only that folder, and only the ones for the bmp files) were empty
i tried to open/view the images but i couldn't, here are the error warnings i got:
windows photo viewer - can't open this picture because the file appears to be damaged, corrupted, or is too large
xnview - warning error reading the file
questions
1) why is it that irfanview and web browers can open this file while windows photo viewer and xnview can't
2) why is the file corrupt and what can have caused that? i read about windows 7 bugs causing file corruption (wow...nice os) but this is very serious bcz i have other files i need
any suggestions are welcome, thank you for your time,
