I just received a .jpg file and the image/graphic is very, very small. When I
attempt to open it with one of several folder options, or en-large it, the
information is blurred.

Can anyone suggest how a .jpg file can be enlarged (decompressed?) so that I
can read it?
Thanks

sounds like the sender just sent the thumbnail, have the send the enlarged
size and not the thumbnail

No, you can't do this. The .jpg is what it is. You can't create data
where none exists which is why trying to make the image bigger only
results in a blurred picture.

If the picture was an attachment to an email then it could be possible that
"you are saving the thumbnail image by right-clicking on the thumbnail and
using Save Picture As. Open the email again and click on the Thumbnail to
enlarge it and then save.

If the image was on a CD then the sender gives you the thumbnail.

Let us know!
