If you can still see, open and edit these files, then what have you got to worry about? The problem is probably in the 255 byte header to the image file.

 

You may be able to get this fixed by opening the file in another editing utility and then saving it. I sure you would have tried this. However not all image editing files alter or read this header except the essential information about size and palette.

 

It might be possible for a professional computer programmer or even a young student in IT training who you could hire to write a utility to alter this information without changing the other data. It is only a text string in ASCI embedded in the first 255 bytes.

 

I understand the apple computer filing system uses this information to identify the file type in order to select the appropriate utility to open the file and not the file extension which in apple may be anything. I suggest therefore you could ask an apple enthusiast to change the file type.

 

If you want a less expensive low level programmer I suggest you try India as their rates are better than Europe or the USA.

 

Do you have a computer GEEK around you could ask?

Tried restore several times. Haven't been able to do that since I got my computer back from the tech the last time. Really think it's time to upgrade all the way around! Thanks Sherie

How about try to restore a recovery point some time before you install
this software.  I believed you could find this utility under Program -->
Accessory --> Systems section.  It probably ask for Admin password.
