I can't get my old fpx photos to open today. I get a black screen that seems to resize as I go through the file folder. I recently updated to the latest 32 bit version with the 32 bit plugins. Anyone else having this problem or have any comments?

Before you post ... fill in your OS and IV version in your profile.
Irfan Paint • Irfan View Help • IrfanPaint Help • Riot.dll • More Skins • FastStone Capture • Uploads
Try these, I don't know what they are since I can no longer see them.
P0001410.zipP0001411.zip
And I do have FPX.DDL ver 4.48 in my plugIns
They are just black here too.

They open normally on my laptop at home that has not been updated and has version 4.33 on it. And to be clear, I mean the zip files above. It is a picture taken 4/11/1998. I wonder if that means it is a bug in the update?
It has FPX.DDL 4.32 on it.
I got a reply:

I opened those two files and saved them as JPG using version 4.44

Thanks for the quick response. I will say that I have used IrfanView for a long time and my old fpx files have always worked fine in the past. These are pictures I took with my first digital camera back in the 90s. They are straight out of the camera without any post processing for the most part.
The last version of Xnview, that also claims to support the format, crashes on your samples instantly. As said, it might be time to convert your old photos to tiff or similar. And also keep an old enough version of IrfanView with them.
(I have a similar situation with some ancient crw photos, that no modern raw converter can open any more.)
