i downloaded the canon raw viewer and wga(?)file a few days ago and the raw viewer seemed to be working fine but last night i tried to send a fax ( from microsoft works) and it opened the raw viewer and the cover page was there but instead of the document , a drawing of a cruise ship and smilies came up( wmf file) ...what the heydehey? i tired it with other documents and the same thing is happening? wondering if i could have gotten some weird virus or if my raw viewer just has a really odd sense of humor( thankfully the company i was sending the bid to only got the first page:scared1: ) i checked and the only things the raw viewer is "supposed" to open in the options is my photo files( the rest has mspaint to open them, which i presume was the way it was before) although i really don't know what a document would be ( i mean the file name)
anyone else ever had a rebellious raw viewer like this?
Thanks

Are you asking if your RAW file viewer is crazy or if the viewer of the RAW file is crazy?

Files have extensions (the little .jpg, .mov, .avi, or whatever) part at the end of their names. Your computer associates a program with each of these extensions. When you installed your RAW viewer, it told your computer that it was the program to use for each of those file types. That's rude but common. Polite programs ask for each file type, but the problem with that approach is that most users have no idea what they are being asked.
The easiest way to "fix" the problem is to re-install the program that you want to use for opening those files. Hopefully, it will tell your computer to go back to using it.

it's a sign from above that you are supposed to take a cruise..
