Go to Control Panel. Choose Default Programs. Choose Associate a File Type or protocol with a program. Scroll down and select Choose default app by file type. Scroll down until you see the file type you want to associate such as jpg etc and then select the program you want it associated with. When you have finished with your selections close everything and when you double click on one of the file types you changed, it should open the associated app.

I appreciate your well made point. BTW I used to be a NCMtnMan myself! Transylvania county.
When my kids were young we were making a trip down that way. I told them we were going to Transylvania county. They were all telling me they did not want to go where Dracula lived. After I got through laughing I explained things to them. Still chuckle to myself when I see it on a map etc.

While I will not disagree with you concerning the condition of many systems including a lot of small business ones that get about as much abuse as many home ones, the original post was about different software to perform image backups. While a fresh start is something we both find helpful at times, I would imagine that most of the folks posting here are more concerned about getting their "computer world" back than going through the time and effort involved to perform the clean install.

Acronis is a very robust and complex piece of software. Overkill for most home users.
SyncBack is excellent, but the SE version is the one to get. ($40 lifetime license) SE offers historical versions of your backed up files, while the free version does not. Historical versioning is needed for protection from "ransomware".
Whole disk imaging is pretty useless.

Not if you use it correctly. It can save you from having to completely install the operating system, applications and data which can take hours and often days to ever get back up and running. During my 30 plus years in IT I have recovered both workstation and servers in a very short period of time using image backups. I run an image backup of my main system every two weeks. And, a cloud backup of my data files everyday, and my cloud service also backus up the data to a local drive as well. Should I have a hard drive failure, infection, corruption I can be backup and running in a couple of hours without having to reload applications, setting etc. Even if your image file is a couple of months old it is still faster than having to reinstall everything from scratch.

If you mean an actual image/snapshot backup of you hard drive(s) and you're running either Windows 7 or 10, then the backup utility that comes with the operating system can do image backups, and they work quite well. I use it every couple of weeks to keep mine backed up in addition to a daily backup. It does require a separate hard drive that can only be used for the image backups. Do a search for Windows Backup to get details. Simple to run and can restore the entire drive back to the status when the image was created. Not intended for incremental backups and you cannot restore an individual file from it. Just recreate the entire drive.

If your system is capable of running it, try downloading and running a 30 day trial of Topaz Denoise AI. You don't have to sign up with a credit card to try it.

But they will not give us a discount on any updates for filters we already have,why is that? I am speaking about filters with Al.
Are you talking about upgrades/updates for their AI applications? If so, you can get a year of upgrades/updates for all the apps you own for $99. If you have any apps that are still receiving free upgrades/updates as a part of the original purchase, they will give you credit towards the $99 for those.

It sounds like the files are possibly corrupt. Were the files sent in a "zipped" format? If so, then try unzipping them again into a separate new folder. If none of this applies, then I would suggest that you ask your son to resend them.

Why not just check FAA's website to see if there is info there?

I only give them to someone after they say how much they like it. I then ask them if they would like to have it, and do they have a place for it. It runs about 50/50. Gives them the opportunity to say they don't have a place for it or if they like it, but not enough to want to have it.

How sharp is your vision? At 69, I often have to adjust my glasses slightly to make sure which one it is.

Built my first one before there were any color systems, but much like you it was by the seat of my pants. Eventually put a 20MB hard drive in it. Like most, I thought who in the world will ever need that much data space. Little did I envision what the future would hold.

Have you tried uninstalling the programs, cleaning out the folders, rebooting your system and reinstalling? I'm a Windows user so I don't know if that works for Apple, but it often does for Windows if there was possibly an issue with the download.
