Hi Greybuffalo,
I too don't understand the problem -
Am I right in thinking these are still photo-files and not corrupted?
But you "lost" a familiar program that allows you to sort/show them?

Until that's cleared, I can suggest "ifranview" - written by a German (?) it operates in English(phew!) and can take picture-files of one type and convert them....


Let the Forum know what you want to do with these photo-files and maybe get a list of modern alternatives. I suspect the Microsoft product was fairly basic as photo is one area where the likes of Adobe (photoshop) and Coral(PaintShopPro) are really the most popular - although IMHO both are too difficult to use "effectively" being far too complicated if you ever spend time doing anything else.

Whatever you do make a Backup, just to be on the safe-side...you know it makes sense!
Just a thought, why don't you have the original program disc(s)?
