gimp says cannot open image

I seem to have damaged a string of photos. Gimp cannot open them, nor can any other program.

names (straight from camera) are pb190014.jpg (and successive numbers).

The error message from gimp says

Opening (imagename) failed. Plug-In could not open image. Not a JPEG file. Starts with Oxff Oxff

Does anyone have any ideas about what happened, or how I might recover. (Actually, I just realized this is not, strictly speaking a Gimp question -- it's just that I use Gimp. I apologize if this is off-subject.)

Helen, using Gimp 2.2.10

No idea what happened, but this tools might perhaps be able to help: http://www.rfc1149.net/devel/recoverjpeg

So can other programs open those images?

That version is quite outdated, current is 2.4.2 (latest 2.2.x was 2.2.17, IIRC)

Hope this helps, Daniel
