    Help.. Getting a Default programs error


    None of my programs are working. Everything I click returns a message ... this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install or if one is already installed create an association in the Defaults programs control panel.
    I go there and set defualt programs but nothing works.
    I can use the computer... I just have to do to favorites and open an old webpage and then use it.
    Any help with be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hello Mark, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Your EXE file associations may not be set properly anymore. Download and merge the EXE download in the tutorial below to see if that may be able to help afterwards.
