Why doesn't my computer recognize my transfered photos from my Nikon d5000? - 1

They are RAW not JPG, and I can only view them with that stupid Nikon program "ViewNX" that my camera came with. I want to be able to modify my photos and also view them with "Windows Picture Viewer" but it won't let me. Why? Should I only take JPG photots? Was that the problem?

First of all you need a program that opens this type of file, There are quite few available on the internet and they are free. Google picasa and Adobe photoshop cs5 are two of them. That type of file format is not commonly used so not all programs are capable to manage that type of file. Thats why the cameras uses non common formats so that you can use theirs program.
