Texture file importing errors

Curious if anyone else has experienced this when connecting a file node and choosing an image. Some files, no different than any other image file in the same folder, give me an error when I choose it and refuse to load. Can't understand why. They all open in photoshop fine and they're all hi-res jpg. Anyone have any ideas?

fortunately I havent had that problem yet. Maybe its the naming? I know Maya doesnt like it when I name something with just numbers, but I havent tried that with graphic files yet.

The files in question all have names and numbers (aka image001, image002, etc.) but while some open the others don't. Don't know why.

Any chance that some of the .jpg files are progressive? Afaik maya doesn't support proggressive jpegs...

I was thinking of that earlier but didnt check. I figured since it's a pro texture CD collection that they'd produce them all in the same way. I'll take alook and post later.

EDIT: Well after checking in photoshop, all the images seem to be standard jpgs. I tried re-importing them into maya and now they all load without a problem so I'll put it in the "maya was a little buggy that day" file.
