Opening Mpg File

[Jantzen]

I am trying to open an Mpeg using Photo Editor which is default in Windows Explorer but the picture will not open automatically.
I now have to open the software and search for the Mpeg?

I have checked all my settings in file types and they seem ok?

Any Ideas? I could re-install MS Office?

Hi,
Am Mpeg is a movie - do you mean Jpeg?

Anyway, try this;

1. open explorer and locate a Jpg file.
2. highlight the file - but don't open it yet.
3. keep the shift key pressed whilst you place the cursor over the filename, then right click.
4. select the option OPEN WITH
5. make sure there is a tick in the little box under the window so that windows remembers which programme you select.
6. browse to your photo application - if it is not in the list then select Other on the bottom right.
7. find and select your programme, press open press ok and away you go.

Regards. It not what you say but how you say it that counts...apparently.
