I would concur that HP are probably devious sods. BUT - in your case
it might be an errant button push of some sort. <br>
<br>
On the laft hand side of QGIS you're going to see a toolbar with 11
(I believe that is correct) icons. It's right next to your layers
window. The top icon will be a line with 4 dots (use that for
opening vector files). the next one down will be a square with 8
tiles (and a plus button - also a plus button on the vector icon
also). <br>
<br>
Save the raster tile the lady sent into a directory on your computer
and use the raster icon (second one on that toolbar from the top)
and see if you can open it. Hopefully you can. <br>
