I have seen 2 things cause similar problems: The extension was bad. ie .jpf instead of jpg I have had times where windows machines do not like a Mac jpg with a resource fork, maybe about 1 in 40. I disabled that option in GraphicConverter and have not had anyone complain about not being able to open a jpg since.
