When I click on some attachments a box that says: "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. " I don't know how to do this (if I'm unable to view these attachments).
How to do would be to install the appropriate program to open attachments if it is not installed, if it is installed the easiest to set the association would be to save a copy of the file on the desktop, right-click and select "open with...". "in the context menu, and then select the appropriate program if it is shown in the dialog box or use search to find it if it is not.

Great, I can help you right now. Just open your C:\Users\Peggy\Downloads folder. While you're looking at him, make a right click on the file icon and choose 'Open with', then "Choose program" you can get the Notepad in the list.
Here is an example. This example is Windows 7, so it seems a little different, but the steps are the same:
- Right click on the file
- Go to "open with".
- Choose "Notepad." If Notepad is not listed, use the option "choose by default" to find Notepad instead.
This will open the file for you to view the data inside.

Original title: file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.
I make a business card CD on Auto Play Studio 8. I have completed the project and burned the cd to test on different computers. When I clicked on the 'Video game' button, I get this warning. "This file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel of the associations' Ok I made the proper action to take, and I still get the same problem. I did this on a XP pro, Vista and 7 PC.
Hi NoPCgeek,1. what program do you use to read the file present on the CD?
2. What is the format of the file present on the CD?Before playing the files on the CD, make sure you cross check if you have the right program installed on the computer. If you have not installed the right program, then we recommend you to install the program that supports the file type and use them to read the files on the CD.You can also change the default program to read this file. The program opens the file only if the file format is supported by the latter.
