I could not open them through IE either. What I did was do a search for all files which had the .art extension. I then opened them one at a time with AOL and then saved with the .jpg extension. It was a pain to do but better safe than sorry in the future. I had no clue about this potential problem until this conversation started. Thank you.

I did try Internet Explorer. Art extension is one of the several supposedly opened by IE, but on my computer, it will not do it.
