I receive this error when I try to open any .jpg files in Windows 2000. "No file format information can be found in the Registry." The .jpg file will not open.

Sounds like you need to associate this with a file type. If you are comfortable using Windows' help file, look for "associating files". There is a section on changing program that opens a file. Follow the instrucitons.

If you're not comfortable with that, try "Irfanview". It is a great viewer and it will automatically take responsibility for that file type. Plus the icon looks cool....Hit google, search for it and download.

Find the .jpg file you want to open...

Hold down the SHIFT key and right click on that file, select OPEN WITH... scroll through the list of programs it gives you to select which will open it (Internet Explorer, Imaging, Photoshop, etc..).

Check the box below "Always use this program" hit ok. All done.
