| You could open it up with a hex editor, that is how I view all my porn... It is much safer, I do not have to worry about people walking by and seeing I am looking at porn... It is like a dirty little secret...
Anyways, I am pretty sure paintshop pro can read tga file, you can even get the trial version here http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satell...ame=Corel3/Home
If you're looking for something smaller, then you might do a good search for tga file viewer. I would do it for you, but I really want to see you staple your eyelids open. | |

| Do you know what sort of file it is? Like, is it supposed to be a graphic or related to a game? Photoshop uses tga's, and so do a lot of games. Try opening it with either Photoshop or somehting like Microsoft's photo editor. | |

| thanks for the info.
I have a copy of photoshop or paintshop somewhere (i think) i now have to search for it and load it on my pc.
the files are screenshots from a game. | |

| The Targa TGA format was developed by Truevision for their Targa and Vista products.
The TGA format file is widely used by high-end paint programs and ray tracing packages. It can handle images with up to sixteen million unique colors. It is an industry standard but is not as widely supported as PCX or TIFF formats. The TGA format was designed for use on systems that use MS-DOS color applications.
TGA files may be saved compressed (run length encoded) or not compressed. Since Windows does not recognize 16 & 32 bits per pixel, some applications will treat them as 24 bits per pixel. A 16 bits per pixel image will be up-graded to 24 bits per pixel, and a 32 bits per pixel image will be down-graded to a 24 bits per pixel image. This procedure will not affect the image since the 8 extra bits of a TGA 32 bits per pixel file are used to store Alpha or transparency information.
This will convert | |

However, since I am single and always on the lookout for a prospective mate I don't want to scare them off before they get a chance to know me | |
