Modified Photos all on same date.

I cannot view most of my photos (or videos) I had on my computer prior to
Feb. 22, 2006. The photos all say they were modified that day and I cant see
them in any program I try to view them in. I dont know what happened or how
to change them back. I do know that I may have downloaded Microsoft Digital
Image Suite 2006 around that time but I cannot figure out the exact day.
They are all JPEG Images now but I dont know if they were anything different
before. Any ideas? Anything would be helpful right now. Please and thank
you much!

===================================
If you open the folder the images are saved in...
Do you see the thumbnails? What happens if
you double left click one of them?

in Windows XP

More info:

Try this...open an image folder and right click one
of your image files...from the menu, select...Open
With / Choose Program.

Make your choice from the list or Browse to the
correct program if it is not in the list.

If you want the default...choose..."Windows
Picture and Fax viewer"

Once you make your selection...be sure to check
the box that says: "Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file". (you will need to do this
for each format....jpg, .tif, .gif...etc.)

Also...you can right click an image and choose
Properties / Change Button...choose the program
you wish to use and click...OK / Apply / OK.

Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...
