Very weird thing happened. I was cleaning out a computer for a friend by removing spyware/viruses, etc. Everything was fine. Before I finish, I defrag the hard drive. I was doing this and then for no real reason, the wallpaper of this friend's kids disappeared. So I went into the display properties to see if I just need to re-add this as the wallpaper and it still shows this image as the wallpaper. So, I search the drive for this images name and I find it. I try to open it and I get the error: ...a jpeg segment marker length is too short... I then looked at a bunch of other images in the pictures folder and there are a ton (about 1 1/2 years) of pictures that won't open and give this same error. I have tried moving some pictures to another computer and I get the same thing.
So, First, does anyone know what might have caused this?
Second, does anyone know how to fix this?
If it hadn't been for the wallpaper suddenly disappearing, I never would have known that the pictures had been corrupted.
One more thing. When I first boot up, the images shows up for a second or two as well as when I shut down. Very weird.
I hate to say it, but you may have just discovered why a full backup is
recommended prior to a defrag... ;-(
