Suddenly can't open any images (jpg/bmp/png/etc)
Hopefully someone can help!
I've tried researching this problem on my own, but it seems like I'm apprently a unique case, due to the size of the issue.
I noticed 2 nights ago that upon logging into my computer that my profile picture was "gone" the "frame" was still there, but it had no picture. I didn't think anything of it and just ignored it.
Late last night I went to open a picture that was on my desktop and received an error stating that windows photo veiwer cannot open this file due to it being damaged, corrupted or too large.
Hmm, thats odd, but alright.
I then proceeded to realize that literally every single image file on my computer displayed the same error message.
I have tried opening the images in paint and gimp just to confirm it wasn't some odd windows photo viewer issue, no go on those programs either. I then took a random image and emailed it to myself to view with gmail and all I got was a nice red "X".
Other files and programs open just fine. Including text documents and misc file types.
I simply cannot beleive that every single one of my pictures that are all stored in different folders and areas have suddenly been destroyed. I can varify that atleast a few of them opened last week.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for your time and suggestions!
