Hello srth and welcome to the forum.

Have you downloaded and opened jpegs prior to this issue?

Do you get an error message? If so, what is it?

srth · Jun 29, 2010

i have tried numerous picture viewers and nothing seems to open the files...they are jpegs...still can't get them to display. :grumpy:

Are you sure they are jpegs, and not just named "jpeg"?

Peano · Jun 29, 2010

Upload one of them to www.yousendit.com and post the link here.

Are you sure the photos aren't in a RAW format?

srth · Jul 1, 2010

if they are in raw format, how would i change them to normal jpegs. Any thoughts?

Windows Photo Gallery says file format not supported.

Even IrfanView won't open the file. Most likely corrupted somehow or other. You might search for jpeg recovery utilities and try one of those.

I have the same problem but with RAW images.

RAW image formats are proprietary and are unique for each camera model.

The RAW file format for a Ninon D200 is not the same as the RAW file format for a Nikon D300, though both have the .nef file extension.

What software do you use to try and convert RAW data files?

For the OP. Your file is not a .jpg image file, though it has a .jpg extension, the extension is not valid.

When I tried to open it it created a file folder named "Amazon Image Only Link".
