2 year old HP desktop. Using XP SP2, IE 6 and AOL to connect to web then using Yahoo email. I save an image file, usually JPG format (i.e. picture.jpg) from Yahoo email, to the local harddrive. That works fine but when I try to view it using Windows Fax/Photo viewer or PhotoShop or even IE, it complains that the format is not an image file. I’ve opened the image in Notepad, expecting to see some legible header info (camera used, exposure settings, etc.) at least. Nothing but junk. I compared it with an image I’d copied from a CD and was able to view that info in Notepad.

I’ve copied pictures to the harddrive from a flash drive or CD and they work fine. Can view them w/o problem. Is there some background junk encoding I’m unaware of? (Thinking there is…) Or would there be some corrupt XP DLL or setting that got turned on/off that’s messing up the file? Does it need an IE/AOL patch? I’ve never seen this before. PC has lots of space & ram. Thanks in advance!
The filename does contain the “.jpg” (even tried “.jpeg”) extension when I save it to the hd.
