| 115402 | 2003-01-20 03:32:00 | I am running Windows 98 2nd edition. I have downloaded many photos from a digital camera into a folder on my desk top . Until recently I was able, within the folder, to look at a preview, and then to open each photo in a Microsoft Photo Editor window. Just yesterday, I tried as normal, and I keep getting the message "Windows cannot find PSP.EXE" "Program needed foropening files of type JPG file" What can I do ? |

| 115404 | 2003-01-20 03:51:00 | Windows is trying to find PaintShopPro - have you installed PaintShopPro, and uninstalled it? - as PSP is still associated with these files . The remedy! Open My Computer > tools > folder options File Types Scroll down until you see JPE, JPG, JPEG Click Change (as in Change the program you want associated with the files) Scroll around for Image Preview Click Ok and that should fix your problem CyberChuck |

| 115405 | 2003-01-20 03:52:00 | As far as I know PSP . EXE belongs to Paintshop Pro, a graphics program . Have you had this program and recently uninstalled it? You are able to make the files associated with whatever program you wish - go to the FAQ section (link top right of this page) and follow the instructions in FAQ 13 . |

| 115408 | 2003-01-31 20:47:00 | Thanks for trying to help . But I'm still having problems . When I download photos from my digital camera, I send them to files on the desktop . I was able, within a file, to point to a photo, which would then be shown as a little thumbnail in the bottom left of the file, or click the photo, which would then automatically open in MS Photo Editor . I then purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 2 . 0 . and uninstalled a couple of other photo editing programmes which had been on the hard disk for ever and which I thought I never used . Immediately after this, I went to open photos as usual, and found that the icon had changed, now looking like a page of text with a large capital A in the bottom right hand . And clicking brought up the message "Cannot find PSP . EXE . " Following your suggestions, in Windows 98 2E, I went: Start/Settings/Folder Options/File Types . I selected the icon with the large capital letter A, called JPG file in the list of registered file types . I went edit/open/edit/browse and then System C/programme files/common files/MS shared/MS photoeditor then open/OK/close/close On the filetypes window it then showed the JPG file type opening with PhotEd . However, when I went back to the desktop and into the photo files, I was still unable to open the photos . (although I didn't get the can't find PSP . EXE message) I can still open the photos, by first going into MS photoeditor, and opening the files from there . But being able to quickly look at previews within a folder is a very useful funtion which I am missing . |

| 115409 | 2003-02-01 07:29:00 | OK, well I'm finding it hard to get my head around this one, but that may be due to a horrible cold I've got, but I'll have another go... In the folders on your desktop where you keep your photo files, can you still not double-click on a photo file and have PhotoEditor open with the photo displayed? Or are you just wanting the preview of your photo displayed when you click on it within your photo folder? If this is the case, go back to the file types as before and after opening the Edit option again look for a box with Preview or Show Thumbnails or something like that -- I can't check exactly what it is right now -- and make sure there is a tick in it. Post back if that still doesn't help. |

| 115410 | 2003-02-03 19:22:00 | Susan B Hope your horrible cold is clearing up ! I want to be able to both preview the photo, by hovering the mouse over the file icon, and get MS Photoeditor to open the photo, by left clicking the photo icon, but . . . . . . . . . . . I'm back to square one . Even though the File Type window now shows a JPG icon (the same icon as in the photo files) and says it opens with PhotoEd, when I go to my photofiles, I still get the PSP . EXE message . I activated the "Enable Quick View" button as you suggested . I think that will now work, if only I can get PhotoEd to open the photofiles . Any more suggestions ? |

| 115411 | 2003-02-04 07:22:00 | > Hope your horrible cold is clearing up ! Thank you. It is, but it's taking its time. :-( Hopefully you are now able to preview your photos. Let me know if you can't. To get PhotoEd to open the photo files, try going into the program's options and having a good look for a File Associations option or something similar. Most graphics programs let you specify which files you want the program to associate with it and therefore open. Hopefully that is all you will need to do, but if not let us know. |
