Comment: I rec'd this attachment(photo) in my MSN email program(ISP is DELLNET). It reads
PNJWed.jpg[2_2].dat.The PNJ is just the initials representing the couple in photo:I tried IRfan, Readers Acrobat,Word..etc. The screen message says this file is NOT readable by the program I choose... How might I open this?
I am brand new..Have a Dell 4100 ME and would appreciate your suggestions..Thanks very much all.

Reply: (edit)be carefull if you're not expecting an e-mail with an attachment, many virus/worms are spread this way.
since it has 2 extensions .jpg.dat
dat is the format the file was sent
and isn't a viewable pic format.
if you know who sent this have them resend it as a jpg

Reply: (edit)to delete the .dat part right click
on the file name and choose rename
then click in the box and backspace out the dat or rename it anything.jpg
then press enter. it is usually from people you know that
bad attachments arrive from, these worm programs will send out virus to everyone in the persons address book.
take care
ect

There is another Nadine who is NOT new..

name so not to confuse others who help
me as a newcomer..
