Use your internet machine to locate a download of Irfan View and then watch all your .pngs to your heart’s content
Suddenly came to the answer. I see it can display JPG photos taken with my camera. The JPG’s it can not show are those made with a capture program. The problem is less serious than what I thought. In fact, I think I simply have to recapture it. (Sometimes I capture portions of text and save it as jpg. Those does not show on Vista.)
Thanks for the replies. The problem is solved.
Well the problem is much more than you have thought. Cuz
– Most if not ALL graphic viewer should be able to display 99.99% of all graphic formats it supports, even if you RENAME it. IOW, you should be able to display the one you captured or saved to wrong extention.
– Most graphic editor/retoucher (like Photoshop for example) sould refuse to open any graphic file with *wrong* extension.
Now about your capturing issue, I dunno how you do it. But if you do then you will have to follow these few basic steps
1. You copy to clipboard (graphic is different than video)
2. Open a graphic editor then PASTE the one in clipboard to it.
3. Then SAVE to file. Now, you DO NOT just type whatever extension you want, but you have to SELECT a specific format/extension then you can type in the extension matches the format you chose.
IOW, if the selection is .BMP but you type DAVE.JPG then Photoshop won’t open it.
