Several PC/Mac programs put their own header on the top of a JPEG file. Some
viewer programs ignore these extra headers and some don't. Not much you can
do about that apart from loading it into a Hex editor and cutting it off,
provided of course you know where to cut it, or try a different viewer.

Firstly the latest version of the akJPG datatype is 44.39, available from the
authors web site. http://www.ar-kleinert.de iirc. 

You can force the program to use any screenmode you want by editing the the
prefs file (akJFIF.prefs) in "ENVARC:Datatypes/" Add the following line to
show pictures in PAL Hi-Res Lace "CUSTOM_MODES=0x00029004" you may want ot
change this depending on what screenmode you want to force it to use.
