I have been sent what I think is an image file and it is in .mix format, but I can't find a program to open it at all :(
I have installed all sorts of software to try and read it but to no avail and the windows xp file extesion look-up thing comes up with nothing.

Any ideas?

Microsoft PhotoDraw uses .mix files, so assuming it IS an image file, this should open it.

If you want to email it to me (dude@mdbgroup.co.uk) I'll see if it does, and convert it to JPG for you ;)

Cool cheers mate - can i mail it to you at 3:30 this afternoon?
Thats when i get home from work :)

NP, I'm here until 5pm at least :(

Sorry to hear that mate (but i have been here since 7am :( )

not seen anything and I'm leaving work now - send it/them to dude@figment.org.uk instead and I'll sort them tonight.
