Very Strange prob

[brushswinger]

Nothing to do with video I suppose, well, maybe if you downloading covers.

The last few days, using Internet Explorer or AOL, when I right-click and Save As a .jpg file, it saves as .jpg, but will not open in any viewer. If I change extension to .art, I can open it in Internet explorer, then re-save as a bitmap, then use PSP7 to convert it to a .jpg. Takes me a long time to down a cover and print it this way. Why has this started to happen all of a sudden. Have I clicked a setting somewhere without realising?

Incidentally, I am using XP!

I had this happen to me to, it's something in the file assosiations.

Lucky it happened 2 days before I got my copy of XP and upgraded

Dont know whether this is applicable to WinXP but have you tried:
Under any folder go to
View(up the top) >>> Folder Options >>> File Types Tab

Then browse down till you find the JPEG and JPG file types and delete them. After that go to a .jpg(or .jpeg) file on your computer then when you click it should say choose a program to open the file with select Internet Explorer (or whatever program you want to use) and everything should be alright

Sorry for the delay pacmania, but I'm usually innebriated. However, thnx for help but me just found out it an AOL thing. If me browse with Internet Exlorer then no probs
