Firstly, are you using pdfLaTeX or ordinary LaTeX (e.g. with TeX 
+Ghostscript mode)?
The former supports .jpg files (though not all variants)
whereas the latter may not support .jpg at all.

Is TeXshop your TeX application, or something else ?


Have you tried the following ?

   \includegraphics*[viewport=0 0 200 200,clip]{mir1}

Do you get the same error ?
If so, please send the image and your complete .log file
for a job that has been cut down to the bare minimum.

Hope this helps,
