Lost picture files

I have an hp pavilion. It has worked fine untill recently. I had tried to save them to cd, but I had too many files, and was going to put them on a jump drive. I think the files might have been messed up in that process.
Click to expand...

try burning a few to a CD to see if you can open them on another PC or even the current from the CD. When you tried to put them on the jump drive, what process did you use, click and drag, copy and paste, Move?
Can you display them as thumbnails in the folder?
Try this (btw, from the image you posted it looks like this is ok, but it may be worth resetting):
open explorer
select tools
select folder options
select the file types tab
scroll to and select JPG and JPEG
select change
select windows picture and fax viewer selected
also click advanced
be sure open is in the action list.
If you don't see advanced, it may say restore, select restore.

If they really are corrupt, Google "Corrupt JPEG", there is a lot of programs that may help

see if you can zip a couple and email them to me. PM me

It sounds like all your picture files has been corrupted. Since everything that you have tried is being recognized as not an image file. It also looks like your picture viewer is missing also. Try saving an image from google onto your desktop and opening it up. If it works, it means that your existing images has been corrupted when you may have uninstalled that program or something along those lines.
