I have received an e-mail from PRONI in Ireland and they had attached 4 things which I can't read as I don't have Paint on my laptop, I did on my other computer but thats not working now. What can I do is there any other way of opening these attachments?

start /all programmes / accesories

should reveal Paint

otherwise download the attachments on the email to your desktop and then go to http://www.zamzar.com/ and get them converted to jpeg files which will be forwarded by email to you

download the attachments in the emails to my documents (or a file of your chioce)
Then open paint (then select ) file /open

and then open the files you saved from the email
after viewing them save the files as jpeg so you can view them more easily in the future


Hope this helps
