8-10 I tried right clicking the jpg file but keeping the error message without an option to open the file with another program.
is there a fix to this problem? what options are avaialbe to aloow me to open jpg files?
mef, I suspect you're trying to open it with the wrong critter. IE should be able to open it. I use Irfanview (free @ http://www.irfanview.com ) which I feel is superior and a really excellent graphics proggie.
In any case, RIGHTCLICK on the file and when the menu appears, select 'open using' and name your poison. When you're happy with things check the 'always use' box and it'll never happen again.
