Red face Picture files don't open correctly
I recently had to reload Windows XP on my computer. I had some pictures saved in a folder on my desktop. I can view the entire picture in Thumbnail view, but when I try to open the picture, 80% of the picture is gray. Is there a way to fix them?

Welcome to the TSG forum.
Are these pictures opening in Image n Fax viewer ?? .. or what ?
If you have a picture less than 200KB file size ... Can you attach it here ??

Or ... Maybe a screen shot of what you're seeing ???

I open My Computer, click on the folder that contains the pictures, then, I can see the enitre picture. I can open the picture with Viewer, but the picture is mostly just gray.

Looks normal...I can open all other pictures just fine. It's just this one folder that seems to be messed up. I attached one of the pictures, does it open ok for you?
