Question
Unable to open Wordpad document

I have downloaded and unzipped the manual for my Jetway mobo, but I cannot open it. I get a "Unable to load graphics conversion filter" message when I attempt to open it in Wordpad.

Can anyone help?

It's more than likely an actual Word document. Is the file extension ".doc" ? Wordpad will try to open it by default if you don't have Word installed.

Question

When I right click on the file and check properties, it says "WordPad Document". The MS-DOS name is "J-994A~1.DOC".

It says it's a "WordPad" document because the ".doc" is associated with "WordPad". If you had Word installed, when you right-clicked and looked at properties, it would say it was a Word document.

If I'm not mistaken, M$ had a FREE Word viewer. Let me look around and I'll post again.

Here you go...

http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0...00-866165.html

or

http://support.microsoft.com/default...S/Wd97vw32.exe

The second says for 95/NT, but you should still be able to use it on 98 and 2K. BTW, they are both the same file.

Talking
Rick ain't so evil...

The word viewer did the job. Many thanks, Rick, and to KenSun for offering help as well.

May I refer you to the "hamster thread" in the Techimo Community forum? I mean, if you have nothing else to do and are not offended by the just plain silly...

Regards,

CR
