OMG I am upset, I just downloaded some png figures to use from da, stock stuff, and when I opened them with my Jasc 7 which I loaded on to my new computer, they wouldnt open in png, or GIF, so no transparent back and they are supposed to be, had no trouble downloading or opening zips, and when I tried to go to pics and click on open with and chose jasc I got this message version of file not compatible for version of windows, I am not computer knoldege person, does this have something to do with vista, or is my Jasc program just to outdated, oh this totaly sucks does anyone have any suggestions, please. thanks
