A little information please....

What camera did you take them with, and which program are you using to attempt to open them?

Canon Digital Rebel

Just uploading to filefolders from Lexar CompactFlash Reader

You have to convert the files from RAW to TIFF or JPEG. I'm not sure which program Canon bundles with the Rebel, but it's in there.

I'm sure a Rebel owner will chime in with the answer pretty soon.

You can also download a trial version of Capture One LE (C1LE) that will do it for you....It's good for 30 days, I think.

Your rebel should have "File Viewer Utility"(FVU) software that came with it.

That will convert .CRW files to jpeg or Tiff. (I think)

EOS Viewer Utility, ZoomBrowser - Both from Canon & Came with Rebel
PhotoshopCS - Adobe $$$$
BreezeBrowser - BreezeSystems $
IRFanView - FREE

There are others but this should get you going. Did you ever think of doing a search on google or how about RTFM for help.
