Solved: Please help with .exe problem

[Markisan]

Hi. I saved some jpegs from the internet but when I try and open them I get a message that says "Wndows cannot open .exe" What should I do to fix this?

Also, I'd like to download a picture viewing program that allows me to open any images. I'd also like to set it up as my default image viewer so I don't have to mess around trying different programs. I can open the jpegs in Gimp for instance but can't open by simply clicking on file.

Can you please tell me if there is a free and simple image program I can download that will help? And also, how should I set it up so it always opens my images and gives me thumbnails of those images. Thanks.

right click on the jpegs and open them with your preferd image editor.

sorry.
*right click the jpeg, go to ""open with.."
and browse to find your image editor

Hi. I tried right clicking. On the jpegs it doesn't give me the option to "open with" just "open". When I do the message appears.

Download the "all in one" jpeg fix to your desktop. Double click it to run it and confirm the merge to the registry.

Test your jpegs afterwards and if they work you can delete the downloaded patch.

Look for it here;

Also, Irfanview is just what you want:

Cheers!

I'll mark the thread "solved" then, but for future reference this option is available to you as well in the "Thead Tools" tab when you are satisfied with a resolution.
