Photo Error - "Unable to show photo..."

[bobdog]

I have a TE and haven't had a problem with my photos before. Just lately, I when I try to open any photo (on the handheld or SD Card) it gives me a Image Error :confused: - "Unable to show this photo because there is a problem with the image." What is the problem and how do I fix it? Thanks for any advice.

What format is the image you are opening? can you get it up on the Desktop?

[bobdog]

Yes, the pictures show up in the preview (on the palm) and on the desktop, they are jpegs.

huh, sorry. I haven't a clue. maybe resave them on your desktop, edit them, save em as bmps and reconvert to jpeg? I'm just drawling on. I really have no clue

what program are you trying to view it on the palm with? if it's photos itself, have you tried re-installing it? I occasionally get a glitch with it that means I need to reinstall it for it to work.

Thanks for the replies. I have tried to use photos, splashphoto, and rescoview. Same result in all photo view programs. I will try to reinstall the programs, that is a good idea. Thanks.

corrupt card?
have you transferred the pic "back" to the pc to see if there's a problem with that file?
have you checked in filez to see what the name of the file is?

There is a biggger problem. I can't install any jpeg through the quick installer. It isn't reading jpegs as compatible. Does that mean I have to reinstall a file to my palm? How do I get my palm to recognize jpegs?

is it coming up with the triangle < nothing supports this > in which case just pop one of the programs back on the palm, as the "file associations" sound like they've had a bit of a "knock".

sounds like the palm's had one of those days ;)
