I really need help, for The Issue's driving me mad!!

So I downloaded the Paintshop Pro Try & Buy trial, and made a very big mistake: the thing asked what extensions should be turned into Paintshop format. Silly me also added JPEG and BMP.... -_-;;

I turned the (lost) JPEG files into BMP's, but...well...I hope you know what I mean, because I really can't explain it....

How do I reverse it so I can have my old and trusted piccies again??

try this...

File
Preferences
File Associations

Thanks, but I already did that: still can't open any bitmap.
You know, when the format is unknown, this message pops up, asking what program you'd like to use to open the file. I used IE for the .bmp, for heck! I was desperate...
But now I can't doodle around in Paint any more and I need to make a new lay-out for a site and...well, the rest isn't important. :D

Blast my ignorance about computers.....

Still need help!

On your taskbar, go to START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > FOLDER OPTIONS > VIEW > and then uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types". Now you can easily format the pic.

Go to the folder the graphic is in and rename it name.jpg. If that doesn't work, try PNG and other file types. By doing this you change the file type without altering the image at all, and then you should be able to open it again.

Thank you v. v. much!! I really appreciate your help.
Now, I'm off: will doodle 'round in Paint..... :D
