Images Disappear or Appear Scrambled When Opening InDesign Document

Lately, when I open an InDesign document, some of the images either disappear or appear in scrambled form. I have to relink them. Sometimes they appear briefly then disappear. Most of them have been in this document with problems for years. Just yesterday, I Exported Book For Print, so all the images are in the Links Folder. What can I do?

Has this started happening after an update to either InDesign or your operating system? Please provide details as to what version of InDesign and your operating system you are using.

What is your system, and where are your links stored?
