I got a new computer and have moved most of my photo
files to the new computer throught the wireless net in my
home. the problem is with several files I can see them
on the network but they appear as files and not the
actual pictures. Why can I do some but not all. I have
checked and they are not hidden or write protected.
Please help.
Thanks

I should have added that Irfanview is a free and very good image

could try replacing those files with a new copy from the old computer.
Corruption during file transfers is not unheard of.
