I use paint shop pro 7. You can use pretty much any program to open them but after you load them, make sure you save it as a .jpg file type. I think that "Paint" program you get with Windows even works.
Ps.
Gargoyle can you fix your avatar because when you have an x like that it messes up with the forum. What avatar on gamespy do you want because i can give you the right code to make it work.

just read up on this post, ah well here's a link to another very good viewer/image editor >> Thumbsplus5.01. (12mb) It's shareware but you can keep using it, just adds a little popup after a while. This tool lets you view/convert almost any type of picture file imaginable.
