Find hidden text in a jpg image

Solved/Closed

Hello,
I received a photo with hidden text in it, asking me to find the text. Despite my searches on different forums, I can't find a solution. I tried GIMP with the stegano plugin, but it gives me an error message. There must be a solution, but I have exhausted my knowledge and resources, so I am turning to the public on the forums. If you have any ideas...
Thank you in advance
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

I imagine two possibilities.

1) The text is actually written within the file itself.

Download a hex editor (Hexedit for example) and browse through the file until you see words.

2) It is a coded/encrypted message hidden in the code of the file.
This can be done for example with the program Invisible Secrets, which also allows for decryption. But you will probably need a "key" (a password).
