WEll, I can't help you but I think it is very, very weird that I have the same problem and have the same camera, but did not drop it. And here I was thinking there was a bad section on the CD my pictures were burned onto, because the pictures in front and behind my missing 100 are fine.
Hello! I've got a big problem with some hundred vacation photos which I'm unable to open on my computer. I used a Casio QV-R4 with a 1 GB SD card. All the pictures I took (all in all about 300) were perfectly visible on the camera's display and could be thumbed through at will. Back at home I cut them all out and copied them to my computer (Windows XP). To my big surprise only the first half of my photos had a preview displayed, whereas the big rest always showed "no preview possible - in German: keine Vorschau verf
