    Hello out there...

    I am having some trouble and wondering if you all could help.

    I downloaded several pictures from a server at my university. I need to look at them for a course. They are supposed to be jpg's, but they are showing up as unnamed files on my PC. I downloaded the pictures from a Mac onto my USB jump drive. I have a PC,with Windows XP Pro. But I can't open the images. Even when I rename them as ".jpg". They simply will not open. I have tried all sorts of applications "windows picture viewer", "internet explorer", "adobe reader"... nothing works. When I try to open the images on a Mac, they open fine with Preview.

    I was wondering. Is there a program for the PC that would allow me to open these pictures? Does anyone have any ideas? Hopefully this message is clear. Essentially I am just looking for a way to open these files. I have tried re-naming them and that doesn't help.

    Thanks. You all rock.

    if they are showing up as unnamed files, what about saving them by file, save as (they don't really have a name, or proper extension)? i know i have a program that won't save the files correctly (let me open them), unless i name them as .jpg (or whatever), meaning the correct extension, that i want them as. or how about emailing them to yourself? anyway, i don't know anything about macs, because i've never been around one, just throwing stuff out. g/l - sos
