Problem with downloading &/or opening JPGS
« on: Wednesday 18 October 17 03:59 BST (UK) »
I have just discovered I can't download jpgs or open any already on my comp & would be grateful for any help please.

I don't know what info. is needed regarding system etc. but I didn't have this problem 1 week ago.

Using Vista, Office 2003 & Google Chrome if that helps?

I can open the ones already on my comp by using 'Paint' & I can copy images to Publisher & then save as a jpeg  ::)

When I click to open a jpeg nothing happens  ???

Right click on a picture and select     Open With ... Choose Default Program  ...Windows Photo Gallery.

See if that works...

I'm not sure what's happened but prior to not being able to open the jpgs I used to have problems with pdfs yet now I can open them  :-\
