Can someone advise me how to open PNG files please.....have tried converting them, but with no success.....the files are pictures from a live webcam on a holiday destination........am I able to view these ?
I am sure I have done so before..........Del.
Hello Del 80, :)
Is this an issue with all .png files, or just the ones from the webcam?
What happens when you try to open the .png files? Any error messages?
Normally, you should be able to open them with the Photos app by default.
Brink, Hello........ Only ever had PNG files from this source.......it says ''untitled PNG.....we can't open this file ''...... tried Windows photo viewer, it says '' can't display this as file is empty ''.......Del.
It sounds like the files may be corrupted.
As a test, see if saving one of them to your desktop and/or renaming the file may allow you to open it afterwards.
Tried what you said Brink......still the same........I wondered if it was because they were from a live webcam, and were being blocked........but have opened them before.....strange.
You'd think that wouldn't be an issue if you saved the images to your desktop though.
As a workaround for now, are you able to capture screenshots of the live cam while viewing it to use instead?

Yes, I can take snapshots from the live webcam, and save them to the desktop........the problem occurs when I try to open them, to post onto F.B.........I have definitely done it before, because a snapshot from the same source was my F.B. profile picture, although that may have been when I was using W 8.1......I can not open them at all......tried paint, photos and windows photo viewer........also cannot convert them, using cool utils, although not sure if that is possible or not.........annoying more than anything.
Brink, yes option 1 works fine as a workaround......I have to press ctrl + print scrn......thanks for that, I wonder why it won't work as normal ?
