Notes about the CR2 file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The CR2 file type is primarily associated with 'Canon Digital Camera' by Canon, Inc.. Raw image format for some Canon digital cameras. Raw images are basically the data as it comes directly from the CCD detector in the camera. Raw files can also contain text information about the picture and conditions in the camera when the picture was taken. These images are based on the TIFF image standard. Konvertor will display these EXIF metadata.

When windows gives you an error message saying that it

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
