Need help please.....photo trouble

[Guest]

Is there anyone out there that can help me???
This is my first time trying this but I am desperate & don't really know
what to do here

All my pictures in " My Pictures" are suddenly showing up as:
Type: Lexmark Photo Editor 6.0 Document instead of file type: JPEG

Any ideas what I can do, I have even uninstalled my Lexmark printer, tried
to refile my pics with INFRAN view as JPEG but everything is coming up under
file Lexmark .....now I can't upload my pics to certain sites that require
jpeg only

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME, I'm so frustrated !!

Have a look at this article:

(307859) HOW TO: Change File Associations
in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307859

More info:

Try this...open an image folder and right click one
of your image files...from the menu, select...Open
With / Choose Program.

Make your choice from the list or Browse to the
correct program if it is not in the list.

If you want the default...choose..."Windows
Picture and Fax viewer"

Once you make your selection...be sure to check
the box that says: "Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file". (you will need to do this
for each format....jpg, .tif, .gif...etc.)

Also...you can right click an image and choose
Properties / Change Button...choose the program
you wish to use and click...OK / Apply / OK.

Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...
