Win 32

Although I have looked at my holiday pics many times, I am suddenly unable to access them, I am getting a popup message stating '' Holiday pics is not a valid Win32 application''. Can someone explain to me what this is all about.( I am running Windows xp.) TIA.

What 3 letter file extension do your pictures have? It will be something like .bmp or .jpg
You could try opening them in paint or internet explorer/firefox.

Thanks squarebear,I've discovered that I can open the pics in Windows Pics & Fax viewer, which I didn't have to use before, I simply clicked on each pic & it would enlarge. I would still if possible like to know why it has changed & what the error message means.

They are all in jpeg. Ron.

It just means that the application you were using to enlarge your pictures has gone wrong somehow.

If you right click on a picture and choose "open with", you can make your "pics & fax viewer" the default application to open them with.

Thanks again SB

No problem,
You wasn't trying to open the entire folder rather than each picture were you? I'm guessing your folder is called "holiday pics"? Just a wild stab in the dark.
