Why can't I read/open stock .bmp files with Photoshop

I don'd seem to be able to open any .bmp files in the 800_400 folder with either Photo Gallery or Adobe Photoshop. Only .bmp's which have been added or modded by AVIC411 forum modders (ie: Diaftia or Dpdurst) will open. I just get "file type not recognized by this program" message. W.U.W.T...I mean I'm using Photoshop already, and .bmp is not recognized?? I don't get it?

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks for your help.

 

PS: Yes, I have searched for this issue on this forum, but no luck.

you need the ipag image explorer or the miomap image viewer to extract the bmp's

Hmmm. That's interesting? I'll do some digging and see if I can find them anywhere!

Thanks for the info. It had me stumped big time.

Update:

I did find Ipaq Image explorer and, yes, it does open the stock .bmp files. Don't know why...but I'm glad it does; and thanks for your help!
