TGA issue?

[vote4waifu]

Okay, I rendered an image as a TGA today, but for some reason after that, my computer decides that I can't open TGA files. What the heck is going on?
When I try finding a program to open it, I can't choose Quicktime Player. Did SFM screw something up? Or is my computer just going nuts?

TGAs are strange beasts... It is best to save as a PNG (if you want to retain transparancies) or JPG. You need to find a graphics program that is capable of opening TGAs. GIMP will, Photoshop (I have Essentials), SnagIt Edit and ACD are others. (And those are the only 4 that show up on my machine a capable to open TGAs). I know that Windows PhotoViewer and MS Paint won't do it.

I am always using Paint.net to turn the TGA's into PNG's or JPG's
