CAN't OPEN JPGs, etc.

[Jeanne Bower]

For the last two weeks i have not been able to open any pictures my friends have sent me via email.
I get the message there is no application associated with this type of file.
I'd like my system to go back to where i could just click on the attachment and it opens right up.
Please help!
thanx
Jeanne

How far back was it where you still COULD view these images? We can try a system restore, but that only works for a certain amount of time...

I tried a system restore and lost too much stuff so went back.  Then a friend had me check this out:

and i did all that - but it still didn't work.  
I think its because i downloaded Kodak EasyShare and its now dominating my system.
I also tried opening a separate folder on my desktop, cutting and pasting all the pics into that folder, but Kodak wouldn't let me rename its original file in the C drive.
If you think of anything else, let me know.
Thanx!
