By Scan View I assume you are referring to that in WinBMD. If so then there is a long standing problem that it cannot open some of the newer format jpg's on the website. Until version 5 WinBMD is released you can only open this using a different viewer such as Irfanview or Microsoft Office viewer.

I will wait for someone to come up with another suggestion.
