How do I open .mix files?

[Gunslinger08]

Running Vista and I don't have Office 2000, so what do I use to view them?

This has me stumped...I did a lot of searching on Google as well but did not find any free softwares to view .mix files! Any one knows any?

Try this, it sounds like your best best:

http://www.polybytes.com/download.htm

www.polyview.com is the location for the converter that is current (Vista) and will convert those old .mix files. One problem: you need to select ALL FILES when browsing for opening the file rather than picture files (the default)because even Polyviewer doesn't expect anyone to still have them! Anyway, select ALL files and then select your .mix file and then save it as a bitmap AND a jpeg just to be sure it will be ok for the NEXT 10 years!

Need to convert .mix files to .jpg quickly and without needing PictureIt? I figured out the easiest way to do it:

1. Have the said .mix file saved on your computer somewhere. "My Documents" is easy enough since it'll only be temporary.

2. Open up Microsoft Word and click on the "Insert" menu.

3. Click on "Picture" and then "From File..."

4. Find the .mix file that you have saved on your computer and insert it into the document. Now you should be able to view the image as a part of your Word document.

5. Now, in order to save it as a jpeg, just go to the "File" menu and click on "Save As."

6. Save the document as a "Web Page" (again, let's say in "My Documents")

7. You won't notice anything different, but then go to where you saved the web page document (in this case, your "My Documents" folder) and you'll see that there's the web page file along with a folder titled "filename_files." Open this folder and inside you'll find the .mix image saved as a jpeg. Then feel free to rename the image and place it wherever you'd like.

MIX files are def PICTURE IT! files.
Insert them into any MS word processor and save file as a HTML file.
Then open the HTML file into IE or Mozilla.
Right Click on the image and save as gif, jpg, bmp

If none of these methods work, if you want, you can PM me a link to one of your files and I'll give it a try on an old PC.
