John, Did you check file associations? It sounds to me that when you uninstalled your office programs, .jpg and others were probably re-associated with another program (check Internet Explorer) or completely un-associated. What kind of icon does a .jpg give you? BTW - .tga is TrueVision Targa file type - often used because it stores the alpha channel. Here's a lead... http://www.faqs.org/faqs/graphics/fileformats-faq/part3/section-146.html Dan -----Original Message----- From: John Colby [mailto:jcolby at colbyconsulting.com] Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 8:13 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] ot: MS Photo editor only understands .tga files rotfl. What would I do if I stopped dicking around with my computer? S I ran into the OfficeXP/2K corruption problem again two days ago. I had uninstalled SP3 for office2K to stop the stupidity of "someone's trying to send email" messages. That allowed the corruption problem to creep back in. Soo.... I uninstalled ALL of the office versions. Ran a slew of registry cleaners (probably the source of THIS problem) and then reinstalled from Office 97 forward, leaving officeXP off. And now photo editor only understands tga files. How weird is that? John W.
