I had transfered the images taken from my digital camera to my laptop computer using the card reader. When I wanted to view the images using Olympus Master software, I could only see the image thumbnail but warning "Failed to open the file" appeared when I double-click the thumbnail. I am worried that I might loose the image since I had already erased the files in the camera. Can someone please help me to solve my problem.

Re:
Try opening the photos with any other viewing software you have - paint, windows picture and fax viewer to name but 2. If you get the same results then the files are probably corrupt, and the probability is that your memory card could be causing the problem, try another card and see if pictures you take can be viewed.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the camera and the olympus software, it just might help.
If this doesn't work please post again and we could give you some info on software for recovering corrupt and deleted files.
Hope this helps :)

You need to import the photos to your PC to view them. There are two
ways to do so: connecting a camera directly to the computer via USB
(Universal Serial Bus) cable and by using a flash memory reader. Using
the flash memory reader is considered the fastest method to transfer
images. Some of the popular types of flash memory card readers are
Secure Digital (SD), Compact Flash (CF), Memory Stick (MS), Multimedia
Card (MMC) and Smart Media (SM). Here is how you can use the reader to
view photos from your digital camera.
You'll have to use a card reader. Despite the name, a card reader also lets you write to the card. Be aware that if the pictures were taken on a different type camera, or if you've done any editing on them, you probably won't be able to view them on the camera.
You can use memory card reader or simply connect the device like digital camera or mobile phone to PC or laptop using data cable. You can also use bluetooth or infrared to transfer data.
Hello,
The videos will not be in the same folder where your pictures are.
Follow these steps.
1.First, connect your digital camera to your computer. You can do this in two different ways:
a.Use a USB cable. Most digital cameras come with a cable that connects the camera to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port on your computer. The first time you connect your camera to your computer, the New Hardware Wizard will help you install the software needed to copy pictures and video from your camera. You may need to insert the CD-ROM that was included with your camera into your computer's CD drive or download software from your camera manufacturer's Web site.
b.Use memory card reader. A memory card reader is a piece of hardware that plugs into your computer. When you're ready to download video, you can remove the memory card from your camera and insert it into your memory card reader, similar to the way you might transfer a file between two computers using a floppy disk.

Tip: It's usually faster to use a memory card reader to copy your pictures or video than to connect your camera to your computer with a cable. If you don't own a memory card reader, you might want to consider purchasing one. They are inexpensive and will save you time.
2.Once you've connected your camera to your computer or inserted your memory card into your memory card reader, Windows XP will detect the connection to your memory card and ask what to do with your videos. Click Open folder to view files, and then click OK.
Click Open folder to view files, and then click OK
3.Windows Explorer opens, showing your memory card. Your videos are contained within one of the subfolders of the memory card. Double-click each folder to locate your videos.
4.Once located. copy them to your computer and then select all and delete.

Good luck,

Hmm, there isn't a little viewing screen?
Anyway, you can download the images to your computer and view them there. Either hook the camera up to your computer via the cable that came with it.
Or, you'll need a card reader & take the card out and hook up the reader to the 'puter and insert card.
If you're using Xp a image downloading wizard thingy will pop-up and walk you thru the process.
If not, after hooking camera or card up to 'puter, click on "my computer" find your device and click on it to open & view photos there.
And transfer images to your computer too.
Nikon complies with the industry standard DCF (Design Rule for Camera File Systems) format which governs the file structure of images on memory cards as well as file naming and other image properties. Due to the constraints of this file system, images that have been edited may not be able to be read by the camera when copied back to the card.
The card can, however, be used to move images (or other files) just like any other removable disk. To do this connect the camera to the computer using the "MSC" USB mode (where supported) or use a third-party USB memory card reader. The camera's card will then appear like any other "Removable Device" and files can be copied to it.
Nikon cannot offer additional assistance in transferring images back to the card or viewing edited images on the camera.
