jpegs won't open

[iNeb]

I just got an email from my step dad and his brother is having a computer problem, it won't open jpegs...

computer won't open a jpeg. keep getting a "not a valid win >32 application" error message. running windows 98 2nd edition.

Sounds like your filetype associations are borked.

In explorer
Tools --> Folder Options --> File Types tab check for jpg's and see what its associated with.

Or...shift + right click on the jpeg and select "Open with" and then choose what you want to open it with.

Vass is right...it sounds like the association is screwed up. By doing this you can change that.

Thanks guys, just what i though. i'll email him with these suggestions.

was just going to suggest the "open with" thing. Also, you could then select the Always open with option so that it will always open jpegs with that program.
