J Posted September 24, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hello coknuck, thanks for your help. Unfortunately the programs could not read the files. The responses were: "File not readable. Unknown format" for www.flydragonsoft.com/bmp-jpeg-converter.htm and "can't open file" for www.reasoft.com/ra-bmp-change-jpg.shtml J Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/15611-cant-read-bmp-file-or-convert-it-into-jpg-or-gif/#findComment-174406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted September 24, 2006 CID Share Posted September 24, 2006 J : What OS do you have ?I had to apply some fixes to MSPaint befoer it would do .jpeg & .gif It always did .bmp ok though.Also check you "Folder Options" in control panel under "file types" & see what your .bmp "opens with" Mine uses "image preview" but I can open a .bmp with MSPaint also.

tommie gorman Posted September 25, 2006 CID Share Posted September 25, 2006 Your right cholla, I forgot to mention that I am on XP media center 2005. But that is all I have to do anyway. So I guess just send them to someone who has at least that new of a comp, and have them send them back changed.
