scrambled reference image

I am trying to put a 2d file texture on a poly plane as a reference image, but the result scrambles the photo file and when I hardware texture, all I get on the plane is noise. I thought it might be a video card issue, but I have done this technique before, and when I open files with this kind of reference image, they still display. I also tried an image plane, but I got the same static problems. Any help would be appreciated. I cant progress in this tutorial until I figure out the reference image thing. Thanks

I just tried loading one of the jpegs from a different file and it worked, but changing the file to the one I want still has scramble. This leads me to belive it might be something with the file I am trying to load. Is there anything I might be able to do in Photoshop or something to make the image load right?

Sounds a strange problem but the first thing I would do is open the file and take a screenshot, crop it and try again.

Are you saving the scrambled one as a progressive jpg? Try to save it as a normal jpg and give it another shot.
