I've recently seen a jpeg that wouldn't load in IE6 either. I opened it
in PSP and saved it and it was fine.
The reason I did that was that I suspected there could be something in the
header info that caused IE to think it may have stack overflow intentions.
Malformed headers in a jpeg could facilitate a stack attack a little while
back. That was fixed, however, I do believe that some jpegs (ones with
errors in the header info) will not display in some software (including
browsers) as a result.
I could be wrong, but Dorayme's example seems to confirm my already well
established suspicion.
Fortunately, if that actualy is the problem, simply resaving the file in
software that creates good headers will fix them.
You could compare the headers in the file Dorayme made, that works, against
the original in a text editor and see if thee are any obvious difference.
In fact, I'll do that now myself.
