Hi The actual format is .jpg. However, these files do not have.jpg extensions -- they have numerical extensions which is why ACDSee 6.0 does not read them. It was interesting that you should suggest trying Internet Explorer. I immediately thought "did I spend this money for nothing?" But no, IE wants me to identify the program I want it to use to open the files which, of course, would take us right back to ACDSee!

I would try copying the files you are interested in to a folder on the hard drive, changing the extension to JPG and try viewing them that way. You can delete them, or the entire folder when you are through with them if you want. Alfred D.

Hi Alfred That's exactly what I have been doing. It would be nice not to have all these extra steps but, that's life! Thank you for the suggestion.
