    My previous laptop was an Acer Aspire 5736G, so I had encrypted some files with the Egis Mywinlocker software that comes stock on Acer laptops. I dutifully saved some of the important files onto a Decrypt. Last week my Acer died in a puff of smoke, so I replaced it with a Acer Aspire 5738G. Now I want to open the encrypted files that are on the thumbdrive. I know the password, of course, but the Egis software is Acer's proprietary decrypter and only works on Acer machines but not work coz I was formatting my laptop and install win7 so not open .jpgenx file and I try and try but not success so plz hepl me coz this photo is important .

    Is there any way to open these files, with the jpgenx extension, on a my laptop? All suggestions welcome.
    plz send answer my mail id : [email protected] , [email protected]

    Guess that will teach all of us never to use proprietary encryption software that is keyed to one manufacturers laptop.

    Discussion of bypassing security measures is prohibited. That being said, any suggestion that isn't about bypassing security measures will do. It seems to me that you have a new Acer laptop, can't you just re-install the software in question? You could call Acer customer service too and ask them if there is a solution for this, since it's their software, they may be able to help you. Alternatively, if there is someone you know with the same laptop model that you had...

    Also, the laptop went off in a puff of smoke, but do you still have it's hard drive?
