I have four edit pages in SS6 that I am unable to open any of the files via the "edit" button. attempting to open any of the images in PSP7 brings up an error window stating "unable to open the file".
anyone with any thoughts on what may be the cause?

OK Light Star and Wimpy here is what I found and I have a fix I beleive ...
Open PSP and go to file/preferences/file format associations
there select the file formats to be opened with PSP.
Then go to SKS6 and go to tools/preferences
on the advanced tab where it says "when editing use the following operation
set this for OPEN.
Try opening the shell styles again - it should work in XP
I found this problem only in XP for my Vista is set for custom to use the program I choose.
Which is usually Photoshop CS3 - but some people do not have this and use PSP.
There is no problem with a custom setting for PSP in Vista - just for XP as I see it here.
Good luck and I hope this fix works for you all. If not let me know and I'll look into this even further to figure it out for you. I know it is needed to do what you want with the program and if there is a way I'll find it!

pretty amazing and confuses the issue to some degree. I really don't know what the issues actually are however I don't think it is the images themselves. I've attempting open these images from other blinds and have the same result, "unable to open the file". I had this issue with a couple of additional images when I was using SS5 but not with any of the standard images.
So, if I could open these images with a previous version of skin studio and after updated skin studio I am unable to do so, I think the problem lies with skin studio.
could you expand on what an indexed file format is and how it fits into the overall picture.
