Help - all those pooter buffs out there pick ya brains :D
I am trying to convert PCX files on my pooter to Bitmap or Jpeg for use with Microsoft Paint. Ive managed one PCX to Bitmap but cant seem to do anymore :roll: Cant remember how I did this one :? If I right click the PCX file and click properties I can change the program to open the file to MSPaint but MSPaint will not open the file. Its now doin my head in

Normally you can open Paint.  Then open the file by browsing your computer for it.

Then go  to 'File' then 'Save As' and select JPEG in the drop down list.

If that doesn't work, internet explorer can do the same in the same way.

MS Office 2000 has Photo Editor listed under Office Tools in your program files menu.

Or try downloading a trial version of something like acdsee which will certainly be able to do it.  You can get it from www.download.com quite legally.

If all else fails, feel free to email it to me and I'll convert it and return it for you.

Think its 1.2 but not sure. Loads of websites have free downloads but the diesel is included in this 1. You can make up anything you want in the editor. I had to download instructions on how to do it from another website
