A lady I’ve been chatting it up with sent me an e-mail with her picture attached to it. I’m dying to see this picture (we have a blind date this weekend), but my computer does not know what to do with this file. I’m at a loss.
My question:
Does anyone know how to open a " .max" file?
Unfortunately, my date is technically challenged and does not know what program was used to create this file. She’s still figuring out how to “use the scanner thingy”. 
Any help would be appreciated.
I think it might be a PaperPort document. PaperPort is an image program that comes bundled with some scanners. You can download a viewer for Mac and Windows here:

I hope that helps!
Aha!(no, not you, aha) Paperport.
I’ve had a little experience with that program. I remember it taking over my system.
Looks like what I need. Thanks!
I tried the link, and the downdloadable viewer for Windoze link does not work. Must be a problem at the site.
Anyone have Paperport on their machine? Can I e-mail the .max file to someone and have it converted to a .jpg?
Help!
I have PaperPort.
Sure. Email’s in my profile.
Well, pahdnuh, looks like thuh Turbo man beat ya to thuh draw.
Thank’s to both for your assistance.
Viva Straight Dope!
