SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to view graphics files in Thumbnail view or in
Preview mode when you are viewing a folder as a Web page, certain
Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG, or .jpg) files may not generate
an image. However, these files do open correctly when you double-click
them.
CAUSE
Typically, .jpg files are encoded in a three-channel, RGB format. It is
possible, in some programs, to create .jpg files that are encoded in four-
channel, CMYK color format. Windows is unable to display .jpg files that
are not in three-channel, RGB color format.
