Hello I use windows 98 and have suddenly developed a
problem sending and opening photo's via e-
mail and also opening and sending some documents. I get
the message 'This file does not have a
programme associated with it for performing this action.
Create an association in my computer by clicking on view
then folder options' I can get so far and then I don't
understand what it asks me to do next. I have noticed that
the icon beside all my photo's has changed to a 'windows'
icon and it used to be something like a picture frame with
a tick accross.
Sorry if this sounds childish but I'm very new to
computing and not used to computer language. I have tried
to do what the reply advised but I really don't understand
what to do when I'm asked to search for the extension I
use for pictures. I don't understand what all the icons
and descriptions beside them all mean. I really need step
by step guidance. Can anyone help me in plain English
please.

It seems that you have lost file association. Try this, click on the file,
hold down shift on your keyboard and right click with your mouse, select
"Open With" from the program menu that appears and choose the appropriate
program and select the check box "always open with this program".
