Paint won't open jpg
I have windows 98. I am trying to open a jpg with paint and I get the error Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file or it's format is not currently supported.

I know on my other hard drive I could do this but not on this one. What do I need to do so I can alter a jpg in paint?

Thanks for the reply. Once I installed MS office it installed the filters just like that link said.
