    Can't Read File Header

    Starting to find more and more image that i use to be able to already open in irfanview no longer open all i get is this error message. They use to work just fine and still do just not in irfanview. I've tried to find this unicode plugin but found nothing but don't even think that is it cause the file open just fine after i uninstall irfanview.

    Hi,

    please have a look at this thread first.

    Try to check if you can open the same image with the standard image viewer in Windows.

    If that won't work you can open the image in hex mode (Open As - Hex editor in IrfanView) and post the first 3 lines, so we can see if the file header is probably damaged!

      They open in the windows image viewer so they are not corrupted

        It's interesting if there exist some pictures which can't open with the current version 4.30 of IrfanView - but however with another program!

        Maybe a bug - maybe something others!

        Can you upload such sample file to the forum?
        Which version of IrfanView you're using?


        regards

            Hi

            what file type is it? Maybe you need a special plugin for it?
            Have you upgraded just the program or also the plugins?

            Regards
            Nils

                None that i can find but i do think i found the problem, it's the folder the image is in. It for some reason can't read it but if i take the image out it can open it.
