If I understand you correctly; if you don't want a certain program opening up image files, you can do one of a few things. Simplest is to right click the image file, "open with" (if you have it) and from the list choose how you want it to open. You can check the box "Always open with", but that doesn't always work though. You can also go into "Folder options" then "File types", and scroll down to "jpeg", "jpg", etc., and via one of the buttons at the bottom you can select with what you want them to open up. (Note IE is what is supposed to open image files, but on XP they changed that so IE would no longer open them. So, every XP install I have to change those image associations back to IE, and "Paint" for bmp files). -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- Jorge, At the moment, the camera issue has been cleared up, I did something in Device Manager and the next time I plugged in the camera the puter loaded the proper info it needed to run the camera and I could easily open the pictures in Adobe, the only problem I have now is tanfering the pics from PDD files to JPEG files so I can open them on other programs. Thanks again for all of your help. :-) Dale In a message dated 9/20/2004 3:24:24 AM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A couple of words to Dale: You should place your answer FIRST and retain the rest of the thread in your messages, as most of us do, that way is way much better to understand. The way you arrange your messages is at least confusing. 2) if you are getting too much trouble transferring from your camera to your PC, easiest way by far is using a card reader and just empty your memory card to the folder you choose in your HD. That's what I do. You can use any file manager on Earth, from windows explorer to any Norton Commander clone or ztreewin or even the ACDC browser which is very friendly because you get the previews as you're browsing through your files and it doubles as a fairly good file manager..The one that has more features is PowerDesk. Any of them is going to see your card or your camera output as a removable disk. Of course, you must follow Clint's advice and make sure your usb or serial ports are enabled in your bios and effectively working. good luck Jorge ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
