If you send a picture from your phone to your PC ( i presume you are doing this via bluetooth) you PC should be able to open it OK

I have done this on my Sony ericsson and the pic was in JPEG fromat

it'll be a video file rather than a pic if it's using Media Player and sounds like it's sent from somebody else via email.

Might be safer to download Quicktime and play it via that.

flang

if the file is .3gp format you can play it in quicktime or nokias media player software available from the nokia website

or even VLC play will pay it, i use this player to play everything

agreed VLC is the "player to fit all" lol.

BUt also correct all movies / videos from Nokia are in a 3gp file format, so you need a player or a codec to support this.

Here is the tech blurb -

Here is adownload link for VLC -

Just click on the windows icon, download is safe and this tool is secure, ps it will work with your Norton too.
