Jpg File Is Not Open
Mar 30, 2006
I have about a thousand jpg files. I now can only view the ones that I have added in the last few weeks. All of the other jpg's will not view.They will not view in thumbnails, in Firefox, in Paintshop Pro, In Windows Office Picture Manager, in Freshview or in Paint.Can somebody please help, these are cherished photos. The file sizes seem to be the same as ever. (ie some 12K some 159K etc)When I try to load them into Paint Shop Pro I get the message - "The specified file cannot be identified as a supported type".When I try to open them in Microsoft Office Picture Manager I get the view of a little square with a red X in it.When I try to open them with Firefox I get the message "cannot be displayed, because it contains errors".When I try to open them as thumbnails in Explorer I just get a square with a little red X in the middle.

I was having this problem on my old install of XP, which desperately needed a new install. In any case, I'm now using a freshly installed version of XP, and everything has been running perfectly for about 2 weeks. Suddenly, this one problem reappears: The File Open / Save As dialog box (aka Windows Common Control / comctl32.dll) takes forever to open (20 seconds to 60 seconds). I just did a chkdsk and defrag, and that did not solve the problem. Also, there are no network drives connected which could be slowing things down. This happens in both MS programs (such as Notepad) and 3rd party programs (such as Firefox).

Why can't I get XP to open every folder using the "Details" option? I do have it set so that it remembers (most of the time) to re-open that folder with the file view it was in when it was closed, but I want XP to open every new and old folder with the "file details" view. Seems like a simple thing, but I can't get XP to understand that's what I want.

Tonight I tried opening a chm file and it failed, with that error message. This happens for any chm file I have tried. I don't know when this broke, I know I used to be able to open chm files with no trouble but I can't pinpoint the last time it worked.I've searched around and found some references to this, but no solution -the only relevant MSKB is for Win98. I tried regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx, deleting the hh.dat files, clearing IE's file cache; nothing has helped. I haven't made any significant recent changed to the system that I can think of.

Every file I try to go to, for instance I tried to go to system restore and it pulls up the open with screen. Everything I try to click on it will ask me which program to use. I can't even get on the internet accurately.

I accidentally moved a file to a "Prefetch" folder in "Windows" in "Local Disk" in "My Computer" and now I can't see the documents I placed in that folder, because my computer says my access is denied even though I am the main and only user profile. I have some very important documents there and could seriously need help. I have Windows Xp Dimension 4400 and Intel Pentium 4

I cant open any of my file folders. I cant even open the explorer to explore the folders. I cant think of any changes I have made to the computer lately.Also, windows update popped up earlier this morning with service pack 3 so I told it to update...at the end of installation it told me that access was denied and uninstalled what it had done..not sure what that was all about either.

I have tried to update to service pack 3 on my OS Windows XP professional at least 8 times. I am receiving an error message which states that a file is open and that I should close all applications ect. I have nothing running that I can see. The error says that "C:windowsapppatchdrvmain.sdb is open or application is running. I have tried to delete and replace the file with another copy located in an other subdriectory. When I double click on the problem file I get message that I can't open it. However, when I click on the copy in another folder I get a different message. When I try to delete or copy it the message is sdb files can not be copied or deleted. It seems that I must have something going wrong. I do notice when my computer is idle, it isn't. The harddrive goes crazy and when I check the preformace area in the task manager it shows high usage.

For some reason now, whenever I try to RIGHT click on ANY of my file types, and do a OPEN WITH, I come up with the following message, "This file doesn't have a program associated with it, for performing this action. Create an association in the folder options control panel". Except that when I go there, there IS a program associated with the particular file type. Example: .jpg files, I have Microsoft photo editor, Paint Shop Pro 7, and Picassa, installed. I used to be able to RIGHT click on a .jpg file, and then go to "open with" and it would give me a list of installed programs to choose from. NOW I get the above error. Now, I DO use a registry cleaner, could I have damaged something? and how do I get it back?

I'm not sure my question belongs in this venue and trust someone will kindly direct it elsewhere if applicable.When I convert a document to a PDF file, Windows XP Pro automatically tries to open the new PDF file with Miscrosoft Office Picture Manager. Further, when opening a PDF file from Windows Exploder (pun intended) I have to go the extra step of telling Windows to "open with" Acrobat 6.0 or it will automatically try to open with Picture Manager.

before I formatted my HP computer (Windows XP Prof Media Center Edition) I made a new folder called August 9th stuff saved. Then I put my documents, Email addresses, list of some forums and a few programs into this folder.Opened this folder and everything was in it! Burnt it onto DVD+ with Nero, made sure that the option said DVD. Then, Make Data DVD. Found the folder, then added the folder and burnt it. ( I have done this a hundred times and never had any problem!)However, now putting the DVD into computer, it opens with this "August 9th stuff.o02" but this is all you get, you cannot open this file, However when you click on properties it shows size 572 mb which is correct!I have had a technician working on this for 3 hours, he cannot open it,

I can't access Control Panel components anymore, such as Display, System, or User Accounts. Specifically, this error appears when attempting to open one of these: On some help forums rundll32 was pointed to as the cause of the problem, and I found entries in Comodo's Defense+ Log where various programs (mostly explorer.exe) were calling rundll32.exe, but it was being blocked everytime.I have tried disabling Comodo (and ending the proccess) but it doesn't make a difference.

I encountered a very strange problem recently about few weeks ago. Sometimes my laptop will refuse to un-mimimize or let me open any .exe files after being on it for few hours and it'll give me the error sound if I try to ctrl alt delete. Once I close some running programs, it'll go back to normal as if nothing happened. For example, I'm using Adobe Photoshop and I suddenly get a urge to check my email. I mimimize my photoshop, open up firefox and nothing happens. So I think "hmm that's weird" and try to alt + tab back into my photoshop and nothing will work until I close my virus scanner or a winrar file that's opened. I've already scanned my computer for viruses and spywares and there were no results.

I was clicking around, trying to reduce the security setting in Windows in order to download a needed .exe file. Can't remember what I did but now a dialogue box opens for every .exe file I try to use. This brought to my attention the regsvr32.exe file that looks like its not supposed to be in the system32 folder and could be malware. issues: turning off the dialogue box that opens everytime i open a program and identifying and deleting malware especially the regsvr32.exe.I notice the regsvr32 isn't listed as a running process in the HJT log - because I cancelled it in the dialogue box instead of allowing it to run. Which is a good thing. I'd like to return to normal and disable the open file dialoge box, but remove regsvr32 first so it doesn't run automatically.
