I bought a Notebook two days ago with Vista installed.
This is in fact the first time I work with Vista as I usually
(always) have XP installed. For some or another reason
Vista can not display jpg's or png images. Would somebody
by any chance have a solution?

NONE computer (both Destop and Notebook) suppose to display JPG, PNG and
most if not all other formats *until* the proud owner installing some
graphic viewer that supports the JPG, PNG and any format s/he wants it to
display.
IOW, there is nothing wrong with the norebook nor Vista, nor Win7, nor
Win95. The problem that it doesn't have the graphic viewer to display the
format.

Use your internet machine to locate a download of Irfan View and then
watch all your .pngs to your heart's content

Yeah, except for the default 'Windows Photo Gallery' which comes with
ALL versions of Vista... might want to research those things you have no
clue about BEFORE spouting off about them.

Disagree completely, Uncle Joel. This is my twentieth year on
computers and it never was necessary to install a viewer for
Jpg's. Problem being with (the specific version) of Vista.

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.)

I don't have problem viewing any graphic format, so I don't need Irfan
View

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.

Ohhh.. that's the smart nephew. If I knew it was you then I should
ignored like suppose too. Now back to your case.
