    Sounds like one of two problems.
    Either the image was created as a different type, then had the extension changed; or
    Photo viewer is corrupted, and needs to be reinstalled.

    Actually, Im not sure how to reinstall it itself, as its a windows component...
    I know in XP it was under add/remove programs>windows components
    But 7 is a bit different with that now...

    One more thing I'd like you to try: Open the file in notepad.exe
    You'll get a bunch of unreadable text. Ignore all that. Just copy and paste line 1 only.
