Hi Siddharth,
Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?
Method 1:
Restart your computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

Method 2:
I suggest you to refer to the items and set default values:
Change the programs that Windows uses by default
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default
Change default programs using Set Program Access and computer defaults
Method 3:
I suggest to create a new user account and check if it helps:
If the new user profile resolves the problem, you can fix the corrupted profile.

Let us know the results.

Original title: problem e mail
I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.
Suggestions;
1. make sure that your e-mail program is your default program.
2. make sure that your Internet Explorer, or your main browser has all its faults.
You can do both of the above by following these steps...
Start button > right column, click default programs > click Set Your Default programs...
1. click on your e-mail program > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
If not, click on choose by default for this program > check all boxes below the list > click on save when finished.2 do the same as above for your Internet Explorer, or your main browser.

"this file does not have a program associated with it" message when you insert the sd card
When I insert an SD card into my computer, I get a message that says f:\ that this file does not have a program associated with it... I know I can set default programs with the types of files in the Control Panel, but how do you recognize what to do when I insert an SD card in the computer?
Windows 7
The problem is caused by the automatic game changing options, this can sometimes happen when you install a new program, but they can easily be changed back. Click 'start' at the bottom left, go into "default programs" on the right side of the list (under computer / doc/images etc.) select "Change AutoPlay settings.
You will find prob some of the sections had the new auto run program, just edit those you want (or all) "ask me every time", you will find that when you insert an sd card, you get the options normal download, copy, etc. as usual. -

Hi Randy,
Welcome to the Windows Vista answers Forum!
I have a few questions about your concerns:
(a) game in which you try to read?
(b) is this the case with all games or any game in particular?
(c) you are trying to play the games that are built with Window Vista?
(d) what version of Window Vista do you use?
You can also try the suite of measures to define the association:
1. open the control panel. (Classic view)
2 click the default programs icon.
3 click on the link associated with a file type or Protocol with a program . (See screenshot below)
4 click the extension file type to change which program .exe association opens. (See screenshot below)
NOTE: It may take a while to load up5 click on change program button.
6 if the list, select the program that you want to be associated with (opens) the file extension. (See screenshot below)
(A) check the always use the selected program to open this type of program , and then click OK.
7 if the program is not listed, then click the Browse button and navigate to the .exe of the program you want to default to open the file extension.
(a) select the program.
(b) click on the Open button
(C) check the always use the selected program to open this type of program and click OK to apply.
This should solve your problem.
Hope this information is useful.

Yesterday when I turned on my computer (Windows Vista) and click the internet icon, a box appears and says "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel of binding together. I called my internet provider and they think I may have a virus. They asked if I had been invited in the past two days in quarantine anything. I did about two days ago, I was looking for clip art and warned there was a risk and asked if I wanted to quarantine items. I clicked 'yes '. But I had trouble getting Internet for two days. Is it possible to fix this?
