That's a browser/image type issue. If you're trying it with a JPEG image (as the
message title suggests) then it's a browser issue -- your browser doesn't handle
JPEG files due to local settings, and starts up the paint program instead. If
you're trying with some other image type (such as TIFF for instance) then this
is normal behaviour, because browsers don't generally understand other formats
than GIF, JPEG and maybe BMP and PNG, depending on the browser.
Since you seem to be using a JPEG image after all, you should check your
browser's file associations (I don't know what's the browser you're using) and
remove the association with the paint program for JPEG's.
