My brother is having problems with this . A box comes up saying "This file doesnt have a program associated with it . For performing this action create an assocation in the folder option control panel." This his tried without success . He doesnt have "microsoft picture manager. Any ideas please

What is the file type ie what are the three letters after the dot?

Try using internet explorer as the associated program, if it is a*.jpg this will work. Also does he have admin rights to the pc, because sometimes if you don't it can cause problems when creating file associations.
