Strange Problem with .jpg Files on XP Clients

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have an SBS 2003 R2 Prem server with 10 XP clients. On each of these
clients when they try and open any type of .jpg file (either through Outlook
attachment or save to local disk then open) they get an error message
indicating a corrupted file. I have tried this with Paintbrush, Picture and
Fax Viewer and Office's viewer.

Now normally I would say it's just a corrupted .jpg file BUT when I try and
open this file on any computer that is not part of THAT SBS setup it opens
fine. In addition it's not just 1 .jpg file but any .jpg file.

I would say this is not an SBS issue but this happens with every computer
just on that SBS network. This is strange. Any ideas?
