I'm thinking you have a problem with
your graphics filters:

The following articles are quite old but
may offer some ideas:

Picture It! Express or Paint

(298580) Some Office Graphics Filters Are
Not Available in Microsoft Paint

Cannot Load the Preview Picture

Thanks John for your fast reply. I believe you found the problem. To fix this
there is a list a mile long and they say it's rather dangerous to fool with
it. So, I feel very stuck now. Paint did not support the pics....don't want
to do any damage to my p.c. as I am not computor literate. Any suggestions?

Are you running any MS Office programs?
Or digital image editing programs?
