Highly terrifying activity with raw files

Question

OK so I am checking out my new Panasonic L1 in hopes to justify my acquisition. Shot a variety of pics around the house on this cold yet sunny day, some jpegs, some raw. Viewing them in Lightroom beta 4.1 some raw files look fine, some are blacked out. And some of these had an image originally, then became black. No file movement, no adjustments made, as is, as imported.
Then I checked them with some other apps that could normally read these files, including Photoshop - no good. Reinstalled the raw convertor and repaired permissions on my drive. Still no good.
But they originally were viewable - for an instant - in Lightroom!
Wierd.

Don, Don't be so cryptic.. New forum and all that ;)<br /><br />In Export choose sRGB/700X700 Quality 50 or 60. in Post processing choose your mail app. It won't be there first time so you need to put a shortcut/alias in your Export Actions folder. <br />this is located in:<br />Mac<br /><br />~/Library/Application Support/Adobe Lightroom/<br />Where "~" is your user directory. This is ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/ in V 1<br /><br />PC<br /><br />C:\Documents and Settings\<your_username>\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\<br /><br />In V1 you can save it as an export preset an have one click access to it.
