# A .png should open fine in Windows
are you certain it's a png and not accidentally saved as a .psd file?

Yes, soz, your right, I did save it as a .psd, should I just convert that to a .jpeg, as our friend underneath has just suggested?

# Yep
Make sure all the layers are flattened (ctrl + e), save for web, and as a jpg or png, and it should open fine

even with Windows

# Are you using an old OS (pre OS X)?
I may be wrong, but I seem to remember that files pre OS-X were made up of 2 parts, data & resource, Windows will see 2 files and not understand either of them.

# What used to happen was that when you sent a file over a network it only sent the data and not the resource fork
so image files were alright, though when you got them back again the mac might not know what the filetype was (unless some program had set the resource fork up again, like a web browser would when you save an image).
