Thanks, Ian. I'll still keep trying my Irfan with these scans. When I first downloaded the same pages--although with a .jpeg ending--they were visible in Scan View. It's just the .jpg ending for some unknown reason.

If so then there is a long standing problem that it cannot open some of the newer format jpg's on the website. Until version 5 WinBMD is released you can only open this using a different viewer such as Irfanview or Microsoft Office viewer. > > Ian > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Carol Haycock > To: FreeBMD-Admins-L@rootsweb.com > Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 4:34 PM > Subject: Re: Scans in .jpg format > > > I just re-downloaded one of the files and it still doesn't open.The Scan > view says it is an invalid or unsupported file format.
