corrupt or planted from a virus to get your attention. If these files are familiar filenames, then probably not that, but these guys are right on. what OS you on? ---

not really. jpg’s are pretty delicate and fry easily. I’ve lost many, but that was back in Win95/98 days. Haven’t really lost any since win2k came out. ---

nah…just something i found to happen evey now and then. Keep a backup of all your files, and you don’t have to worry. as an aside, gifs are best suited for solid color images, whereas jpg for gradients and fills. They’re best used in this capacity rather than interchangeable. 😉 ---

This happens every now and then. Not too long ago I had a file on my desktop that wouldnt delete (it was a jpg). Then a few weeks later (yesterday) I tried deleting it again and it worked. Strange. ---

Actually hope you got virus protection with the latest updates and definitions. There is a nasty virus floating around right now.
