how do i turn a file into a suopproted file type? i try using images saved on wordpad and paint.
Use jpegs. As in 'CoolPic.jpg'. If you are using XP, your version of paint will be able to save in this format.
You need to set your folder options to
NOT 'hide extensions for known types'. It seems to me you had similar problems with rar files that were actually zips.
Paint can handle many file types and just about any file can be edited in wordpad.
