I tried to open a picture and got this message.
Windows cannot find .exe.
This program is needed for opening files of type
"Windows BMP Image"
What is that all about??

You're missing a .exe file. That means windows can't open .bmp files (which is an image file).

right click on the file and press "open with...". Choose the program you like and select "always open with this program"
You probably installed a photo program and set it as default and then uninstalled it. Didn't you?

Sort of. It was a picture downloading prog. I don't think it was default. Is there any way to replace the missing file?

what program did you use to see pictures before you did that? Open it and select the files you want to view with it like .jpg, .bmp etc... etc.

Were you able to right-click and browse to the program?
