Hi;

I have a CD-ROM created by a friend that has some images on it (JPEG).
I put it into may workstation (win 2K w/SP3) and my home machine Win
XP Pro and all I can see is the file structure. However, if I try to
view one of the JPEG files I get an error. I have tried the images
under all the utilities and PhotoShop v5.0 on windows and nothing
seems to be able to read the image files.

Does Mac OS-X implement some sort of different JPEG standard? Or does
windows not recognize something it should? Please explain. Is there
a fix? Has anyone else run across this problem?

In Addition, I just tried the CD-ROM under Linux (SuSe 8.2) and I can
view the images just fine. We copied the files from the CD-ROM using
SuSe to a Windows 2000 server and I can now reader them from the
networks share. But I need to know why I can't read the files from
the CD drive on my workstation.

Please just reply to the newsgroup thread, no email please.

Eric
 
This is caused either by the application he used to save the JPGs with saved
them in some non-standard format or you may just have to copy them to the
hard drive and mkae sure they are named .jpg.
