Sorry.....I bet that would be helpful!! It is a .tiff file. I am thinking it some sort of driver or file association problem. The only program that will display it correctly is internet explorer with the quicktime plugin and or photoshop........

Here is a link to the files that I am downloading. Maybe someone else can try one and see if it works for them.

Perhaps it is a proprietary tif format that LDT3 isn't licensed to use?

If you can open it in a photo editor, save it to a new name in a different
format. Insert the new image in, move, rotate, scale as need to fit the bad
image. Remove the bad image.

OK. The story is: I get the same results in LDT2006. It comes in fine in
LDT2008. That tells me that it is probably a compression issue. The images
are probably compressed using a format that didn't exist when LDD3 was
issued.

See if you can take JohnM's (Abyss) advice. If you can open it in Photoshop.
Try saving it under another compression format or as uncompressed. If you
have a lot of them it might be worth the time finding a compression that
works. Uncompressed Tiffs can be HUGE. You'll probably want to say with a
Tiff format so it will still reference the TFW file.

This editor opens it http://www.irfanview.com/

Looked Ok to me in the 2008 versions. You might want to try going into the
map image options and set the memory used for images up a little bit more
than the default.

Looks like the irfan conversion to an uncompressed tif is the working the best for now, as far as image quality preservation. Thanks for the help everyone!!
