ERROR: unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found

Friends, many of my jpegs open fine. But a number of them give me the
message in my Subject line. I have no idea why! I can email them to others
using the same operating system (WinXP home) and the jpegs open just right.
This is a new computer. Why can I open some jpegs and not others?

Any suggestions appreciated!

It may help if we knew what type of camera
you downloaded these images from and what
software you are viewing them with.

You say it's a new computer...are you opening
the files from your hard drive or from a CD?

Have any of these files been received from
someone with an AOL account?

Thanks for the response, John!

Well, I'm not using a camera myself, but my friends send me pictures in jpg
format and they open well. The one that I am especially concerned about
just now that won't open is a logo produced for me by a commercial company
using Adobe Photoshop. I am opening it from my hard drive. It was emailed to
me (not using AOL) and when I double click on it the Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer tries to open it and gives me the above error. Other graphics
programs give me the same error.

I've had it resent to me and with the same result. I send the file on to
others using WinXP and they open it with no problem. (Two others people.)

I have used AOL in the past and the program is on my computer.

I'm guessing that some basic functionality of my system is messed up. I've
run the windows update process and still no joy.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Sorry...but I don't know the answer.

You say your recipients can view the files. I'm
thinking that since an image attached to an e-mail
message is a copy of the original.....have you tried
making a copy and viewing it?

Also...it may be worth a try to drag/drop the file into
any Internet Explorer window. It doesn't matter what
is in the window. The file may open...

thanks for the suggestions, John.

I'll experiment some more and if more information develops I'll post it.

Hello, I had the same problem, and would be grateful for replies when you find the solution please. I have jpegs with invalid marker type displayed when opening them. I appreciate this, bless you.

I had the same problem. Instead of opening the files directly in photoshop, I was able to open them in Microsoft Photo Editor and do a save as with a different name somewhere. After I saved the files somewhere else, I was able to open them in photoshop.

I hope this helps

I have also been getting this error on occasion but not with my photos.. I've been getting it when creating patterned "digital scrapbook papers". But it's not all of my patterns.. it seems to be happening when I create and define my own patterns and then fill the canvas with said pattern. I'll save it as a print quality jpg and then when I try to reopen the image I get this error. It's pretty irritating since I do this for a living. Any suggestions?

Hi

Getting same problem but i am not able open in the photoshop also pls help any body


Thanx,
