pictures are kind of a "broken", they are like a puzzle, part of picture is

wrong place in that picture. Some pictures have different coloured areas,

example half of that picture is red box but you can see the original picture

other pictures half of that picture is grey zone where isnt anything else.

Mp3 files are also partially corrupted. Only few picturefiles or Mp3s I cant

open. Re-installing Vista or updating any software or drivers wont work. Now

i noticed that when I move those files from my external drive to my computers

(where this error is) internal hd , those pictures that has some problems are

different allmost every time when I re-copy those to computer, I mean those

problems I earlier mentioned changes in picture every time I re-copy those. I

tried that external harddisk to other computer and copying went well, but

that isnt the solution because its not Mine/My computer. I wondered, is it

possible that some hardware might cause this kind of problem... That external

hd works fine on other computer. I can't install same Windows Vista to other

computer because it came with that computer, no cd or dvd, its in the

harddrive.

I bet this has nothing to do with Vista. You probably open them with the

same viewer that worked in XP, so go to the manufacturer's site and download

a Vista driver. This is what I did for my HP 8250 printer. Talk to a

concierge via email. They will explain to you everything.

 

Another option is to open them up with MS Windows Media Player. This animal

will open anything. I do not know if it comes as a part of your edition. I

do have Ultimate.

 

Nothing in your precious files is corrupted. No viewer will mess up with the

content unless you began editing them.

NORMALLY, what you describe is indicative of corruption on the drive itself.

Sector degrading, the like. If it were happening over a network, I would say

you were getting trash packets thrown in and it is corrupting in that

fashion. But the way you describe it, it seems more to me like a fault

somewhere in the transfer. Meaning you said the corruption changes every

time you copy. I've heard of bad cables, firmware, and a fault in the

controller circuit causing random problems. That being said, I will be the

first to admit that I do not know everything so maybe someone else can chime

in and take a stab at this.

You know what to do with the munge

I've been wrestling with this problem for months and think I understand

it. It's a USB problem. New Vista USB drivers are not compatible with

the firmware on older USB devices. Likely a real time issue. Either

Vista has to change, or the firmware on the external device has to

change. No one is willing to step up to the plate to provide a

solution, as there is no profit in it. That's it. That's all.

 

Currently your solutions are to either a) replace your devices with

newer devices that are still supported and are compatible with or

tested against Vista, or b) load both Vista and XP onto your PC and

boot up with the OS that best supports what you want to do. I chose

the latter and my jpeg problems are gone.

I don't know an answer to the OP's question. But this is a perfect example

for others, of what happens when people do not archive files to CD, DVD or

other form of media especially 9-10 years worth. Remember it's not a matter

of "if something will happen" it's a matter of "when something will

happen". Relying solely on an external hard drive for backups such as the

OP did no matter the operating system is just a very bad habit. I'll even

add to store your archives off site in a secure location in case of a tragic

event such as a fire.

I agree. I had everything backed up and haven't lost anything. Its still

very frustrating that pictures seem to randomly show up half-greyed out and

wish I could find a solution.

Have you sent or transferred them to another computer and tried to

open the pictures there?

> Just for what its worth. I am having the same problem with vista and corrupt image files when backing up to or transferring jpgs to an external drive. Files downloaded to my internal hard drive for the most part are fine. The problem is with vista and external drives that connect to usb ports. Even if that usb port is via a internal built in bay (as in the case of Hp8000e media computer.)

 

Just for the Vista Offienciedos, yes I have done extensive trouble shooting

and ruled out other possiblites ...6 months worth of Microsoft "support"

telling me to do the same things over and over again. You need only to look

in the knowledge bases and user groups to realize they are nothing but

dumping grounds for the "miseried" Microsoft users!

 

I have been through 3 external drives with the same result. All the external

drives worked fine on my spouses xp desktop, but showed at least 30%

corruption on my vista machine. And yes, the usb ports work fine with all

other devices. So how can anyone say that this is not a Vista issue?? The

only solution so far is to install a dual boot system so you can use XP for

all your images which I have not had the guts to do yet.

I recently installed a Vista home basic notebook for a customer, replacing a

windows XP Home desktop.

Most .jpg pictues transferred to the new machine with no problems, but one

set of pictures on a DVD [1200+ images] will not load on the new machine

without up to 60% of them 'greying out' over about 90% of the image.

I can view the complete set on my windows xp pro notebook - NO PROBLEM

whatsoever, but whichever format is used to transfer these to the Vista

notebook results in the same problem - DVD, USB pen, SD card.

The incredible part of it is that when the images are viewed as thumbnails,

whether on the hard-drive of the vista notebool, or by accessing them on any

form of removable media, they initiallly appear as perfect images, almost

immediately followed by the 'grey-over' of over half of the images - you can

watch it happen. No image-viewer software will then display the images

correctly, and I have tried many.

Would appreciate any suggestions on how this issue may be overcome

Nigely:

Welcome to "club frustration". I can assure you that many many folks are

having exactly the same problem. Be happy you are dealing with only one CD,

but my bet is the other images will sooner or later suffer the same fate, as

mine did.

 

I am blessed with two sons who are EXTREMELY knowledgable when it comes to

computers and as of right now our only hope is that SP1 will address this

issue and resolve it.

 

My only workaround so far has been my network. With my spouses xp laptop, in

which I can access the very same images on the same external drive that

showed corrupt, view absolutely perfect on the vista over the network. Go

figure.

This problem has rendered a computer I purchased for the specific

purpose of hanling images as useless to me...

The computer (hp) should be a super machine... but about all I do with

it is internet and play mp3 files... I have to use my laptop which has

XP on it to handle files...

I too have triend pluggin in external drives, transfering via the card

reader built in to the machine via CD etc.. there should not be a work

around for this... I didn't pay for a work around to my work flow... I

was in the middle of busy season when I discovered the issues... and

didn't have time to stop and fully address it so now I cannot return

this heap of crap... I did try a callto HP and they wanted charge me$$

to talk to me about a problem whith the machine they made:mad: WTF!!!!

ANYbody getting relief???

If the files appear jumbled in one program and ok in another, how can

they be corrupted. If they were corrupted, wouldn't they be bad in all

programs. Not that I'm an expert, just wondering.

Backup your pictures..

restore the machine to as new using the product recovery disks..

put the pictures back on..

if it still does it take the machine back and get one that isn't faulty.

It is not vista or it would do it for everyone and it doesn't.

The only thing different on this machine is vista... same everything

else as the other machines...

Bullshit, as usual, by a Vista Fanboy. This NG is full of postings where

Vista is screwing up things for some people and not others - even with 2

identical machines (and no, a MAC address for a NIC card shouldn't count

as "different"). There's obviously something WRONG and UNSTABLE with Vista

in this regards. But Fanboys like you and Microsoft will ALWAYS blame the

end-user or the manufacturer for their problems. It's never Vista's fault

according to dennis@themenace and other Fanboys around here.

 

Cheers.

Nigel, Did you ever find a solution? I have the EXACT same problem as you. 90% of the image is greyed out, but you can see the "preview" or thumbnail of the perfect image sometimes. With windows you see the images briefly as it draws the thumbnails and with some viewers, I can get a preview (gimp). I have tried playing with the headers in hex for a couple hours and I just get different errors when trying to open the jpegs. Of course, I have tried all of the repair application demos out there. No luck. I probably would have given up by now, but it seems like there has to be a way to open the image data if I can see a preview (no, I am not just seeing an old thumbs.db file, the perfect preview is being grabbed from the corrupt jpeg).

 

I recently installed a Vista home basic notebook for a customer, replacing a

windows XP Home desktop.

Most .jpg pictues transferred to the new machine with no problems, but one

set of pictures on a DVD [1200+ images] will not load on the new machine

without up to 60% of them 'greying out' over about 90% of the image.

I can view the complete set on my windows xp pro notebook - NO PROBLEM

I corrected this issue by downloading the updated driver for my builtin

NIVIDIA graphics card from the ACER website. I have the ACER Aspire E380

with Vista.

 

 

 

I had the same problem with JPG files in Vista. I would upload pics

from my camera. When I would view them using "thumbnail view" you could

actually see the new pictures get corrupted one at a time. Every 4th or

5th pic would get grayed out partially, or the picture would turn a

strange color. Downloading and updating my NIVIDIA software corrected my

problem. I hope this will help out others.

I also had the corrupt picture files using Vista on an HP computer. The

pictures would first download correctly in the thumbnails and then

immediately start "greying" out. Sometimes they were funny colors and

other times they looked like a puzzle not put together right. I knew

it was this computer because I could take the media card out and put it

in my laptop computer with XP operating system and the pictures would be

fine. I called HP support several times, read some forums and tried

what was suggested and nothing worked. I finally took my computer back

to Circuit City yesterday and they replaced the media card drive and

said there was a problem with the connection to the USB. I am not

"tech smart" so I am not sure just what they meant, but so far the

pictures seem to be downloading just fine with thumbnails working as

they should...no more greyed-out corrupted pictures. Seems like if it

had been a hardware issue, my pictures would have stayed corrupted, but

if it was just a software/reading issue that is why the pictures would

be ok in an XP operating system? I am just hoping this really did

solve my issue...but, I won't hold my breath...after all it is VISTA!

I have also had similar problems with JPG images that look strange:

different parts of the image mixed up, strange colors, colored stripes,

etc. I can see these effects also in the thumbnails.

 

What makes my problem maybe even more peculiar is that only the files I

copy to a specific hard drive get corrupted. I have replaced that hard

drive, but the problem remains. The new drive has the same cables and

drive letter as the pevious one. I have two internal hard drives and one

USB disk. It is on my second internal drive (the one not with the OS on

it) that the problem occurs. Copying JPGs to my other drives works fine.

Copying JPGs from these drives or from card readers to my second

internal drive will sometimes produce corrupted images.

 

Since I have replaced the hard drive I cannot really see what's the

source of the problem? Cables, connectors, driver circuits, Vista,

BIOS???

 

I have been using my computer (an HP) for about a year before this

problem started to appear.

None of the above. Have you checked your JPG association lately ???
