Stupid Technology...

GRRRR... ok, so I have a pretty new digital camera. I took many beautiful pictures with it. I took the disk to walmart to print some of the beautiful pictures. The beautiful pictures printed off just fine. I went home to download the beautiful pictures onto my computer from the disk, but my computer wouldn't read the stupid disk. I re-grouped and got the cord to connect my computer to the pretty new digital camera. The pretty new digital camera asked if I was trying to connect to a PC, I said "yes", it went to a black screen that said "One Moment". It said "one moment" for about 45 "one moments". So, I got tired of waiting for "one moment" and I safely removed the mass storage device and called it a day.

The next day, I tried to put the stupid disk back into my computer and it read the disk fine. It downloaded all of the beautiful pictures. I went to look at them. 2/3 of the pictures could be viewed without any difficulty. The other 1/3 of the pictures just show a jpeg icon. All the properties are the same as the other 2/3, my computer just won't let me view the pictures. It pops up a box that says, "Could not open 'C:\Documents and Settings\Bill Boulter\My Documents\My Pictures\April 2009\Lindsays Camera Pictures 507.jpg' because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found." Everyone I ask says they've never heard of that. The 1/3 pictures are deleted off the disk now (I don't know how) and I took it into the camera store and they reformated the disk so it is now blank. So, basically, I have these picture files on my computer now that are, in fact, picture files, they are just encripted or something so I can't look at them!!! I have tried looking at them in an internet explorer window, the desktop, kodak picture viewer, windows picture viewer and I can't figure it out.... HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF THIS?!?!?!?! HELP!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
