I see that Ben is going to try and open the jpg. But if that happens again, make sure it has the correct .jpg or .jpeg extension. IrfanView will usually ask you if you want to rename an incorrect extension, so that may not be the case in this instance. Or it could need the plugins to view the odd format: http://irfanview.tuwien.ac.at/plugins/irfanview_plugins_433_setup.exe In this kind of case (if IrfanView can't do ANYTHING with it), and if IE can't open it AT ALL (which if it could you could see the extension), go to Folder Options, scroll down to "Hide extensions for known file types" and uncheck that, and then you can see and perhaps rename the extension correctly, if it's incorrect. There's a program called FileAlyzer that gives you a right click item entry that's handy for analyzing odd files, it can tell you things about it and has several tabs; one of which being an Image Preview. I think it MIGHT be part of SpyBot, not sure about that. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/filealyzer/index.html http://download.cnet.com/FileAlyzer/3000-2248_4-77088.html -Clint God Bless, Clint Hamilton, Owner www.OrpheusComputing.com www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com www.OrpheusComputing.com/most_reliable_cheapest_webhosting.html www.OrpheusComputing.com/office/computer_accessories.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom" Amazing! Thank you. The website converted the .odt file to a .doc file perfectly. My Office programs are only 2003 but the .doc file opened OK. Now, the same person sent me a .jpg file that neither Paint or IrfanView will open. Could it be that Open Office has an imaging program she used to generate this file? It's 903 KB so can't use that website to try to convert it to another format. Would you take a look at it? Thank you, Tom ** Your Message ** >Office 2010 is supposed to open this type of file.
