I appreciate your response. I did the similar thing before, in Explorer, using the TOOLS feature, but I tried it your way anyway, and got the same results. If I change the Opening Program to PAINT, it opens fine.........if I switch it back to PSP7 it fails. PSP7 actually opens, but says it can't open the file, and when I click off that message, PSP7 closes. Yet I can open the file fine if I open PSP7 first.

The only thing I've done different that I recall, is that I recently installed a program frm Nokia to view/download my phone pictures with........if nothing else, I'll try System Restore.
