 Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2004 4:50 pm Post subject: I can't run any programs |
|
|
Hi
When ever I try to open a file a get an error message saying "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the folder options control panel". I have no idea what that is telling me to do.
I tried the fix from dougknox.com and it gave me the same error message as when I try the other programs. I then tried the REG fix and it still gave me the error message. Any ideas 
Please respond soon. |

| I was trying to open exe files, but when I tried the reg fix, that didn't work either. |

I looked at it, but it didn't quite describe my problem. I tried looking for the registry key but it wasn't there. I don't think that that virus is the problem.
Do you have any more ideas? |
