Scanlation Question. Please help me. *sob*

Postby Mangafanatic » Sat Dec 25, 2004 1:07 pm

Okay, so I've been download scanlations for-- well, forever. I've NEVER had any trouble viewing any of the manga I've downloaded.

Now, suddenly, I have to view my scanlations using Paint Shop Pro-- which I don't have! It makes absolutely no sense! Even when I try to view stuff I could look at two weeks ago, it prompts me to install paint shop pro. I don't have Paint Shop Pro, you stupid computer!

:comp: Well, I feel better now.

If anyone can give me very simple instructions on how to change the program with which I view it-- I would be very happy. I. need. my. scanlations.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

To change it, to view the file in another photo viewing program

Right click the file > Open with > choose program
(whatever you use to view images).

Question, what format is the picture? Perhaps it has a Paint shop pro extension. If not, then you should have no trouble viewing the files via IE or whatever picture viewing program you use.

Edit: Also, ifyou are using a certain program you may have to go into the options or preferences and change the default settings to make it your primary choice to open files with.

Yus. Agasfas is absolutely right...

If the file turns up being a PaintShopPro-only file, I can change it for you~ :3

Oh wait.. blah.. Okay, this can only happen if the file type that these files are, have been told to open with another program (which would be PSP, in this case).

So, what you need to do is (I'm assuming you're using Windows)...

(Right-click) --> Properties --> Change (it's a button) --> and select the program you want to use when viewing these files. If you've got Windows XP [Home or Professional], you would probably choose "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer." :3

If the files formerly work and then don't, I recommend checking if any newly added programs changed the default, or if spyware/viruses are running wild on the system. Computers don't change that stuff arbitrarily and if a change occurs, that should be a tip off.

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me
