I've begun to download images from my digital camera.
They download nicely into .JPG files which are readily
viewed with the Photo Editor. Then, within minutes, they
mysteriously convert to VB Script Files (extension is
still .JPG) and are no longer viewable. This isn't
random; it's guaranteed to happen to every JPEG I
download. Any suggestions?
