Don't panic!!!!!

John Stalling's CR2 Editor is still in the freestuff. Just do a search on "Stalling". For Wordpad if you save with "Save as type: Text Document" and write in the CR2 extension it should be ok (was on mine :) Else just change the file extension in Windows Explorer.

Hope this helps but if you need a rShldr to CR2 on you know where to find me
