Paint and Jpegs
I have just reinstalled Windows 98SE on a computer and I am unable to open
jpegs in paint and in paint I do not have the option to save it as a jpeg. When I open a jpeg, I can view the picture but it will come up in IE instead. I did some searches in the knowledgebase and the only thing I found was about office being installed. I do not have office installed but I do have a program called openoffice. In the article it said about a registry fix however the setting is not in my registry. I have tried removing paint and reinstalling to no avail. |

Paint and Jpegs
As you have found already, Paint does not handle jpeg without filters
normally supplied by MS Office or similar. You may have read these already....

You can probably get filters and install them but it would be simpler to get a graphics program that can handle jpegs.

Paint and Jpegs
Thank you for your answer. I thought that was the case but my wife insisted
that she was able to open and save jpegs without another program hence why I posted this "Alan Edwards" wrote: As you have found already, Paint does not handle jpeg without filters normally supplied by MS Office or similar.

Paint and Jpegs
What more can I say?
She must have had the filters installed by some program like MS Office or similar. Paint will not open and save jpegs without those filters. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.html On Wed, 1 Mar 2006 02:37:47 -0800, "Aves" wrote: Thank you for your answer.
