    suddenenly no Jpegs will open


    Hello All,

    I have been reading/searching for an hour with no solution.

    I have multiple external drives for backups. THis morning while looking for an old file, I noticed everything but one folder on a Seagate drive is locked. I use this HDD is most everyday and the main folder i work out of is unlocked and working.. All other folders locked.

    Anyway, I can take ownership etc and unlock them but now photo viewer, PDFs ect all get the message that they can not be opened. "Windows Photo Viewer Can’t Open This Picture Error"

    Before I "take ownership" of anything else,, What am i doing wrong? All of these used to work. I am searching for an old family photo.

    If it's a permissions issue you have to do more than take ownership. You have to grant yourself full access.
