In my browser (Internet Explorer) my jpegs are corrupt. They look like there was "water on the camera lense". When I save pics to my hard drive they are fine. I have downloaded updates and/or new drivers for my graphics card but that has not done the trick. I have fbx.com (Farm Bureau) as an ISP. My videos are that way also when I play them.

Thanks,

Jonathan
