Strange JPEG Issue
My computer is one of them with the issue. While others in the company can open the attached .jpg just fine, when I try to open it, it either tells me the file is corrupt, that there's no preview available, or it just displays a small box with a little red 'X' in it. I've tried opening directly from the e-mail message, I've tried saving the file to my PC and THEN opening it, but the result is the same every time.
Thinking maybe it's a profile issue I logged onto a different PC (same OS, same programs) with my user account, opened Outlook and opened the .jpg from the e-mail message without any issue. On my original computer I can open any other .jpg files without issue, just not the ones from this particular company. Since it's only from one company I can assume that maybe they're doing something differently when saving the image, but that doesn't explain why others can open them. I can't figure out where or why it's failing.
Programs I've tried to open the images in: Microsoft Office Picture Manage, Image and Fax Viewer, Paint, Internet Explorer, Gimp v2.6.
** One thing to note is that if I log onto a different computer, open the image there and then re-save it as a .jpg and send it back to my other computer, I can open it just fine.
