Raster not drawing correctly and then won't open at all.

Question

Hi all!

I am working with some rasters that worked fine a few months ago. But now when I drag them into the map, they do not draw correctly at all, and I am at a bit of a loss for why. After the rasters don't draw the first time, they stop being able to be opened at all. I get an error message that says: "Failed to open raster dataset". We have a lot of rasters like these ones that continue to work fine, there's just a set that seem to have given up!

Has anyone had any experience with this? It's strange because these datasets worked perfectly fine before and haven't (as far as I am aware) been changed at all.

Drawing Error (note one raster is drawing correctly underneath the error. The error is the red grid thing):

Error Message:

Thanks!

One thing to try is copy the *.tifs to a new folder on your c: drive - say like C:\images	ifs or something like that.  Then add the raster datasets from the newly created folder.  What is the result?

Issue persists! I get the error message below again.

Open a new map without a basemap.

Add the layer to the map.... don't drag and drop.

Any problems with that workflow?
