So I converted to Firefox & removed Explorer but now my jpegs won't open

[henslee]

and I get a pop-up screen saying "can't find iexplore.exe". I know, its gone but why should my jpegs be unviewable?

Love firefox, though.

1. It must be your default viewer

right-click the file, open with... pick an image program, and choose "use this every time"

4. When I right click the file is when I get the message. I am in windows98

I hav acdsee somewhere on this machine but i defintely dont get a choice of programs when i do what you jsut decribed. Thanks though, I will hunt for it. Any other ideas, much appreciated.

2. Try this...

go to TOOLS, then Web Features and check off "Load images"

3. IE is assigned as your JPEG viewer

To change that, you need to

open Windows Explorer,
select Tools | Folder Options,
click the tab labelled "File Types",
scroll down to the file types beginning with "J"
highlight "JPG"
click the Change button
select an image viewer from the list of programs.

Repeat as necessary for file types "JPE", "JPEG" and "GIF"

5. Followed instructons but I dont have change as an option in popup, I have

edit, remove, and new type as optoins. (feels like I am on right track) Thanks. any more feeedback apprec.

6. you need to highlight a file type

once you've scrolled down to "JPEG", you have to click on it. That should ungrey the Change button.

7. As a quick and dirty to view them until you fix your default, do this:

Open paintbrush by going to "Start", "Run", Type "PBRUSH", then in Paintbrush, do a file open and find the file you want to view.

On edit... you will probably have to change the default "View Files of Type" on the File Open dialog to from Bitmap (bmp) to JPEG or All.

8. won't be easy if

it's an image file from a website -- those are all in the cache directory and are hard to get to.

9. I'm assuming that these are JPEGs that are on the PC (not in the cache

directories)... that he/she double-clicks to get to now (ergo, the need to change the file open program).

11. you are right they are on pc. thanks for feedback. I will let folks get

back to the campaign results now!!

13. good point (n/t)

10. Not an expert, but

I was told NOT to remove Explorer when I installed Fire Fox. Because it's so intertwined with the Windows OS, removing it can cause all kinds of problems. If such happens, you may have to re-install Windows.
