You've lost me!

You say that you "have clipboard viewer on desktop and I can view the
charts there" What charts?

The 'clipboard' is intended as a "Temporary Store", used for the 'Copy' and
'Paste' commands. As an 'extra', MS included a Clipboard Viewer to allow you
Save clips for later use - but only for 'Pasting' clips into other files.

I don't understand why you are expecting to use it for .bmp and .jpg files
(as the subject of this thread) It is ONLY intended for .clp files

Note the final sentence:-
"To run Clipboard Viewer after you install it, click Start, point to
Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click
Clipboard Viewer. You can use Clipboard Viewer to view the contents of the
Clipboard."

Mart, I have clipboard viewer on desktop and I can view
the
charts there, however, with difficulty if I do manage to
move them elsewhere, ie a folder I want them to go to, I
get this message: 'This is not a valid bmp/clp file, or
its format is unsupported' Sometimes PC lists all my
progs to open with, and each one I select won't open
them. PLease suggest something, as its driving me mad.
Thanks

IIRC - Go to Add/Remove programs System Setup tab,
Accessories, select and
install Clipboard Viewer (to the System Tools folder).
Clip files (.clp)
will become associated and you should be able to Open
them - and Save them
*And Paste them* from there.

Hi there. when I try to open clipfiles my PC says it
doesn't know what to open with and shows me all my
programmes, none of which open them. I try to convert
the
files into bmp or jpeg etc and face the same problem. I
obviously have other jpeg, bmp images already on PC, so
why this prob? Any ideas to overcome it, please.
