Was there a space at the end of the filename making the extension ".pct "? Perhaps you need to associate the .pct extension to Preview? Take any file (it doesn't really matter what kind of file) and rename it with a ".pct" file extension. Now do a "Get Info" on it in the Finder and in the "Open With:" section select Preview and click on the "Change All..." button. Then you can rename the file back to what it was. > Just to check, I went to Internet Explorer and looked at its list of file > helpers and it seemed to be pointing .pct at QuickTime.
