Hi...
I'm using PSP Ult ver. 13.21.20 and have been getting this message for awhile now.
I'm not able to associate any jpg or bmp files with PSP. When I right click to
"Open With" PSP is not an option and trying manually does nothing. Some pics I can
drag in and open. Dbl clk only opens the Instant Viewer.
ANY solutions extremely appreciated!

Re: "The selected file does not contain a bitmap"
Have you gone into Win 7's Control Panel > Default Programs > Associate a file type or protocol with a program -- to try that route?

Thank you for your reply!
Yes, I've tried there. PSP does not even appear there.

Have you clicked on the Change Program button, then navigated to PSP? If it doesn't appear in the first options, press the Browse button.

Re: "The selected file does not contain a bitmap"
Thank you too for replying.
Yes, I did that also. I browse to "C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel PaintShop Photo Pro\X3\PSPClassic\Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo.exe" but when I go back the check the file association, it's associated with Corel Instant Viewer. Also, should the final file I select be a 2.95 exe file?
I fear a reinstall. Which sucks cause I'm a plugin whore

You can also follow these steps...
http://corel.force.com/index/articles/e ... oto-Pro-X3
You can also set it from PSP X3 itself go to FILE > PREFERENCES > FILE FORMAT ASSOCIATIONS then select the option that you want and OK.

Re: "The selected file does not contain a bitmap"
Actually, Ron's thing ended up working! I had PSP opened at the time I did the "change program" thing. When I closed PSP, I WAS able to dbl clk a jpg file and have the program open!
Thanks guys!
