Photo Gallery can't open jpeg files

I just purchased a new Dell (with Vista OS) and imported (through CDs)
pictures and music files from my external hard drive (Western Digital Book)
and old PC (XP OS). Photo Gallery and Windows Media Center don't recognize
the files and can't open either type of files. I have read other discussions,
but the problem persists. Please help!
If I download pictures from the Internet or attached to an email, they seem
to open fine. But not the hundreds of imported ones that I value.

Re: Photo Gallery can't open jpeg files

When you copied them from the CD, did you change them from read-only?

What are the extensions on these file types?

IIRC, one poster, who had this problem, discovered that if he renamed the
files from .jpg to .jpeg, then they could be seen...

You might try downloading Irfanview, and open a file, and hit "i" to see
what it says about the compression format.
