I have a Sony Cybershot DSC - S60. I went to transfer my pictures onto my computer a few files were corrupted. How did this happen, and why cant i view the 'corrupted' pictures on my camera aswell as the computer?

Also, when i try to print pictures, setting the size to the standard photo size, it always prints slightly smaller, even with the boarder option off. Does anybody know why this happens?

It's not uncommon for memory cards to have corrupted image files -- and a corrupted file won't open on any device -- camera or PC. After all, a corrupted file is unreadable whatever you use to open it. It's important to back up your camera pics as soon as possible, and pay a bit extra for genuine Sony memory sticks instaed of cheaper third-party ones. There are some free utilities which claim to be able to retrieve corrupted files on memory cards -- do a search on google. As for the size of your printouts, we need to know what software you're printing from and also the steps you are taking to get the image to the size you want.
