I have several digital pictures that I took sdeveral years ago. I dumped the pictures from my camera to the hard drive (WIN XP HOME), and erase them from the camera. They opened fine. About 6 months ago I burned them to a CD and erased the files from the hard drive. Recently I needed to make hard copies of these, but when I tried opening them with Photoshop Elements I get the following error: : "Could not open file.jpg because an unknown or invalid jpeg marker type is found". These weer originally in JPEG format.
Is there any way I can save these pictures? They won't open either with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

Try a few other programs that might be able to open and re-save them. A couple that come to mind are
IrfanView

Do they have the correct jpeg extension for your computer? You might double check. Also take a look at post #2 in this thread. I gave a link to Irfanview to a person who was having trouble opening a file. It worked for him, but your situation is different. It wouldn't hurt to try, though. At this point you have nothing to lose. :(
