Take a look here: http://filext.com/file-extension/dat "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

Have you tried changing the file extension to .jpg? Right click on the file and select rename.

Thank you but that didn't work. It won't allow me to change the file extension

Did you check out the link I provided? "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

Did you attempt to change the file extension while viewing the files off the CD? CD is read only media. As such you can't change the file extension. copy the files to a folder on the desktop and THEN try changing the file extension. You may first need to change the file attributes from read only by right clicking on the file and selecting properties. There may be a checked box for read only. Remove the check mark.

Hi yes i tried changing the file extension after moving it to my desktop but still no joy. Think i might throw the pc out of the window soon! lol Thank you
