corrupt files...
hi everyone...about a year ago on a toshiba laptop-info below-my wife complained that her 2003 Word files were mysteriously turning into unreadable garble. Text became symbols...or, a translation box would appear, but there was no way to turn this garble back into her original file. Most of her saved photos also disappeared. (The files remained, but each page was blank upon opening.) So, I wanted to bring this to this forum and see exactly what the heck is going on....I had my opwn problems with the laptop. I transferred over 2100 .jpegs from my iomega hard drive and created a disc using nero. All was fine until I viewed the disc on another dvd player - info files were black, some pictures would only be viewable part way, and the disc player was struggling to play the cd. When I plugged my Iomega drive into our old 98se work horse and used an older version of nero, I made the cd and it played flawlessly in 2 separate dvd players.
