Question for the tech experts amongst you. Hopefully there's a simple answer.
A couple of months ago, a then newly joined member of my forum, from Hong Kong, in his first and only post to date, embedded 4 links to photos of a fairly rare Seiko 7A38-714A, in decent used condition, that he'd picked up from a street vendor, for the bargain price of $200 HK (equivalent to $26 US).

The images appear to be hosted on a Chinese language forum that I'm unable to view (at all) for some reason, but the links do display them correctly:

As I habitually do, I right-clicked and saved the images to my current month photo folder:
The thumbnails display correctly, but when you click on them, using Windows Photo Viewer, I get the error message:
I googled it at the time and apparently it's a well known Windows 7 problem.Windows Photo Viewer can't display this picture because there might not be enough memory available on your computer.
Close some programs that you aren't using or free some hard disk space (if it's almost full) and try again.
There are various 'solutions' to this glitch, including this reply from Microsoft, which involves screwing around with advanced display settings.
I'm still running Windows 7 Professional at home, but I've tried it on a couple of Windows 10 machines at work and the problem persists.
So can anybody please tell me what is different or wrong with these photos ?
Hmm. Interesting. They don't work here.
I get the same issue when I open them in windows picture viewer and have noticed some images that come from my phone (specifically screengrabs that the phone saves rather than from the camera) will have this problem.
You can still open them in Photoshop and save them back out though.
They do, just remove the URL /URL tags, I haven't used the brackets for obvious reasons but remove those too. Not sure what your original problem is though.
try FSviewer ....see if that works

^^I meant to say I'm not sure what the solution to your original problem is.
Funny you should say that. That was one of the first things I'd tried (after renaming the image files):
But when I downloaded them from PhotoBucket, and tried opening them in Windows Photo Viewer, I got the same error message !
Have you tried converting to .png and seeing if it still happens?
Been there, done that, too, Duncan.
Used this: https://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-jpg
Sorry, correct link: https://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-png
But even then, when you download the (renamed) converted .png image, Windows Photo Viewer still gives the same error message !

I'm genuinely stumped then!
