I can verify John's solution.

I once had a bunch of jpgs taken with my Kodak Camera.

For some resson they were not recognized by Windows XP..........never did
figure out why.

Loaded into Irfanview and "converted" to jpg.

No problems after that.

Hey Gord...

Thanks for the assistance, maybe now
the OP will try to resave the .jpg file.

Have you experimented with AutoCollage?
It's fun to play with:

Let me reiterate the issue. Some of the jpg images taken from Sony DSC W-170
camera does not open in Office Computer. It does not open with any of the
default players of Windows XP. It opes in Home computer even with the
Internet Explorer.

The issue is only with the jpg images taken from Sony DSC-W170.

The image opens in IrfanView in office computer, but we are not allowed to
install any 3rd party player in Office

I dont need to install XP File Association Fix as all jpg images other than
the one taken from Sony Camera opens.

I cant open the image in IrfanView and resave them as jpg, as there as lots
of images.

I think the office computer is missing something, which I am not able to
figure out.

Hello John:

May I ask a question here?

Over the years I have heard stories of "different" versions of .jpg? In
other words, people have claimed that the Japanese having different .jpg
file formats than the version used in the USA.

I don't presently have any samples.

Can you comment on the possibility of different standards for .jpg files in
different countries?

Cordially yours,

Young Snodgrass

Yes, there are different types of JPEG files.
Have a look at the following article:

JPEG Format - About JPEG
and JPEG 2000 File Formats

Hello John:

Thank-you! I had looked, but did not find your "source."

Also, "Thank-you" for letting me wander "off-subject."

Cordially yours,

The answer may very well be posted on a few other sites. Search for "jpegim32.flt".

Apparently, copying this and perhaps 1-2 other files from the same directory from the install disk into the appropriate folder in program files directory solves the problem of MS Photo Editor not being able to open jpg files.

In addition, I scoured the net to find out why MS Word would always give me an error as well when opening a Word document (yet allowed the document to open after clicking "yes" to the error announcement). By copying the files mentioned above, that happened to also fix the problem I had with Word.

I hope people do find this post.
