Unable open email attachments.



jpg pictures in email default to Acrobat Reader which says:
Error, file does not begin with %pdf. Also other attachments won't open and read:This file does not have a program associated with it,etc. Creat an association in My Computer by clicking View and then Folder Options. I cannot resolve with the Folder Options listed. Today I downloaded Winzip to try but picture attachment still defaults to Acrobat Reader.
I have Picture It program, but still get the same frustrating Acrobat Reader message. Windows 98 software.

    Find a .jpg file on your system someplace, or save the one in your e-mail to a file folder. Navigate to the file, hightlight it, then do a 'Shift - Right Click', i.e., hold down the shift key then right click the mouse. When the menu comes up click on 'Open With'. A list of all your applications will appear. Scroll down the list and highlight the application you want to open .jpg's then click the little box down on the lower left. After that OK out and jpgs will be associated with that application and it will open instead of Acrobat Reader.
