Hi

. . . Magic Quick Viewer . . .

It is Magix not Magic - and is a very old program which came with some Magix software.

It has been superseded by the free Magix Photo Manager

What is the format of the photos eg jpg, png, bmp etc and source ie camera, web, mobile eg iPhone etc?

. . . . Am running MS 7 pro . . .

Do you means Windows 7 Professional?

Thanks for the response John.

Yes, its Windows 7 Pro.

Original camera photos were scanned with flat bed scanner and are in .jpg format.  Photo Manager 16 won't open them, just displays a series of icons named serially as ._IMG_0006.jpg

Hi

._IMG_0006.jpg

If you look at the file name, you have quoted it, starts with a full stop (period) and underscore - is this correct?

IIRC for Windows 7 there should be no period at the start of the filename, try renaming one of the image files and remove the ._ at the beginning so the name looks like this IMG_0006.jpg and see if it opens in Photo Manager.

Were these images scanned using a MAC computer ?

HTH

Yes John.

Photos were scanned on Canon 5600 flatbed scanner into OSX iMac desktop. Saved as JPEG image and later exported to a USB external drive formatted for use with both Mac and PC, and images uploaded to a PC.

As you suggest, a couple of files in the PC have been renamed in Photo Manager.  Named icons appear across bottom of working space. Clicking on the renamed file causes a rapid "shuttering" of space with the text FINAL PHOTO popping up. Double clicking on this text cause to computer screen to go black, requiring ESC to return to PM.
