[Qgis-user] Newbie - QGIS won't recongize shp files, comp turns shp files into pdfs

[Matt_Klick]

No luck on this yet, but thank you for your suggestion. On another
computer, I still cannot upload shp files - instead changing them to
nursoft (??) files. In any event, I cannot yet open a shp file using QGIS.
