Can't see pictures on SDcard from PC

OK, this is weird...
I can open windows explorer and see all the files on my SDCard *except* the ones in the DCIM folder.

If I use a file manager on Android, it shows the DCIM/Camera folder, and all my pics and videos. However, nothing from the PC side.

If I change from "Transfer Files", to "Transfer Photos", still nothing.

Anyone seen this, or can you verify yours will work OK?

Thanks

Are the files encrypted? Have you tried pulling out the card and placing it directly in the PC?

No. I can try that.....
But, Isn't encryption for the whole card? 9GB of music shows, but pics won't.
Also, never have turned on any encryption of the card anyway...

I was only wondering if the files were encrypted because that would render them unable to be read by anything but what encrypted them.

Makes sense, but I never turned on any encryption. I don't have to be able to see them from the PC, just trying to figure why they wouldn't show, and see if anyone else could replicate.
