Hey...this happened to me before! my system used to open these type of files, and one day all of a sudden it doesn't recognize them anymore. I haven't done anything except for the fact that I downloaded some program from limewire and my computer started acting weird. I've read that one cause for that message to come out is corrupted file associations in the registry, one cause of which are viruses. This lead me to suspect it's that file I downloaded from limewire so I scanned to find my computer was already infected. So I suggest you scan your computer first, and if there's any virus, get rid of it. If not, then you can still check whether you have corrupted file associations in the registry and fix them. You can read this article on how to open <a href="http://www.pcperformancetools.com/how-to-repair-open-unknown-file-type-extensions.html";>unknown file types</a> for further guidance. -- ravendawson (via gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
