The CNET Download.com forum is the place to give feedback about CNET Download.com. However, I will note that such issues are usually the result of the files being corrupted, a result of the files being partially overwritten. Recuva detects the image, but is unable to determine that it is corrupt, giving you false hope. You can try other programs, but expect similar results.
-> Special software is not required to recover images taken by the Nikon L16; Recuva and other software recover based on file type, which is standard, regardless of manufacturer.

Why I could not open the pictures recovered by Recuva?
I am so glad to read the post on recovering lost data on SD card cause I deleted some important files on my SD card sometimes ago. After reading the newsletter, I downloaded Recuva program, as recommended by CNET.com. To my surprise, Recuva did recover some pictures from my SD card. However, I could not figure out if those are the pictures I wanted because I could not even open any of the pictures!
I tried to open the pictures using many softwares such as Microsoft Office Picture Manager, Picture Viewer, Window Photo Gallery, ACD See 9.0 but none of them work!
Please help. Thanks.
Note: I took the pictures using my Nikon L16 digital camera. I wonder if there is any specific software that could recover pictures taken with Nikon cameras?
