They do not work on any comp if copied to a disc or viewed via ethernet
connection on a seperate comp.

They are on a slave HD on my PC in a dedicated photo file folder with over
20000 photos. It is very random at which are not viewable. Sometimes whole
sub-folders are bad, some folders are okay, some are good and bad. Age (0-5
years)of file does not matter except in the fact 100% of the phtos taken with
a newer camera are fine (about 3-4K photos)
