I have old .mix photo files that were used by Windows 98 on old Gateway that
I no longer own. They are saved on on floppy discs and I cannot open them.
Anyone know of a download, fix or program to open these with?...mark c
 
If you have any version of MS Picture It! / MS
Digital Image...give it a try. Also you may be
able to open them with MS Word.

If these are single image files that were created
with MS Picture It!...the following info may be
your solution:

The evaluation version of PolyView may allow
you to batch reformat your .mix files.

You can download an evaluation copy at the
following link:

PolyView
www.polybytes.com
(Go to...Downloads / PolyView 4.26 Setup
Program)

When you open PolyView...go to...
File / Format Conversions...

Browse to the folder your .mix files are
saved in and open the drop window and
choose "All Files".

Left click the "Add All" button.

Left click the "Continue" button...

Choose your "Destination Format" JPEG

Choose your JPEG quality...100

Choose a "Destination Folder"...

Left click the "Start" button.

Some older .mix files that were created with
photodraw can pose some problems, have
a look at these articles:
