ort java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class LabelDemo
{
   public static void main( String args[] )
   {
	  // Create a label with plain text
	  JLabel northLabel = new JLabel( "North" );
	  
	  // create an icon from an image so we can put it on a JLabel
	  ImageIcon labelIcon = new ImageIcon( "C:\\Users\\george bush\\Desktop\\ring_sat.GIF" );
	  
	  // create a label with an Icon instead of text
	  JLabel centerLabel = new JLabel( labelIcon );
	  
	  // create another label with an Icon
	  JLabel southLabel = new JLabel( labelIcon );
	  
	  // set the label to display text (as well as an icon)
	  southLabel.setText( "South" );
	  
	   // create a frame to hold the labels
	  JFrame application = new JFrame();
	  
	  application.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );

	  // add the labels to the frame; the second argument specifies
	  // where on the frame to add the label 
	  application.add( northLabel, BorderLayout.NORTH );
	  application.add( centerLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER );	  
	  application.add( southLabel, BorderLayout.SOUTH );	  

	  application.setSize( 300, 300); // set the size of the frame
	  application.setVisible( true ); // show the frame
   } // end main
} // end class LabelDemo

ImageIcon has no problems displaying JPEG images. Perhaps your path is wrong or the file is corrupted.
