Bas: My machine is a pentium I, 75MHz) so 32-bit... but no .jpg pictures
and Clarence gave me the advice to change jpeg-viewing to 16 bit and I
can view jpeg now.
But... 32-bits ought to function on this machine... (am I right Bernie?)
but it does not... why?
And if the 32-bit stuff must function well on a modern machine there is
(of course) no need to have this installed for default otherwise.
