Okay, I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled everything. Two problems -

1. Whenever I double-click-to-open a file with Paintshop Pro, the file isn't opened. Instead, I get some sort of browser window within Paintshop Pro. How do I disable this?

2. For some reason, MS Paint won't open .jpgs!!!
 
1) Never seen that before, but for some reason...the images may be associated with the JASC Browser instead of PSP. Depending on your version of windows, Select the image file, Hold down the shift key and right click, then select Open With..., then select Paint Shop Pro from this list, Check the box for always open with this program, then click OK. That should fix it.

2) Depending on your version of windows....Paint can't open JPGS. What version of Windows do you have?
 
in response...

1) It didn't work. Just to clarify, double-clicking the file still opens up Jasc Paintshop Pro, but it goes straight to a browser window and the file isn't displayed.

2) Windows 2000 Pro SP3

Thing is, I neither of those problems when running those programs before the reformat.
