Your school or university computers should have all the picture software to generate those spectras, unless your referring to the raw data, in that case you'll need to incorporated into excel and form the spectra yourself.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble opening your IR spectra files. It can be frustrating when we don't have the right software to access important files. There are a few options you can try to open these files.

First, have you tried searching for free software that can open IR spectra files? There are many options available online, such as JSpecView, ChemSketch, and OpenChrom. You can also check with your institution or colleagues to see if they have any suggestions or access to software that can open these files.

If you are unable to find suitable software, you can consider converting the files to a different format that can be opened with a more common software, such as MS Word. There are online file conversion tools available that can help with this process.

Lastly, if you are still unable to open the files, you can reach out to someone who is familiar with IR spectra analysis and ask for their assistance. They may be able to open the files for you and provide you with the necessary information.
