Photography Question

Quick Time


I was trying to post a picture to e-bay when it came back and said that the photo was not in a recognizable format. I went into My Pictures and all of my jpeg files had turned to Quick Time. I have no idea what is going on and I hope that someone has an answer! I tried resaving a file as jpeg, it saved, but when it showed up it was Quick Time again.
Any and all help is appreciated!

What application are you using, Sheila? Have you checked its preferences?

Now it's showing as Corel Snapfire! And I still can't upload it as a jpeg. When I go into Tools>/File Types it says JPE, JPEG and JPG are of file type Corel Snapfire instead of saying they are of file type JPEG.

Looks like Corel is using a lock-in strategy (which backfires...).

How about opening those images in another graphical application and then saving them as JPG?

  That's where the confusion comes in, I open them in Photoshop, as always, then save them as JPEG and they still show up as Corel Snapfire. I've never used Snapfire. Sigh

Are you saying Corel isn't even installed on your machine?

  It is installed. And I think that is why it is opening in Corel now. The original problem was that they were showing as Quick Time files so I uninstalled Quick Time. Then they showed up as Corel Snapfire.

  I FOUND IT!!! I opened my Control Panel and did the File Type search and for each TIF and JPEG file I put Windows Viewer as the application. All files are back to normal.

Thank you for putting me on the right track!
