    File does not have a program associated with it?


    Howdy,

    I received a link from a friend to a video he posted on Dropbox. I have received links to videos from him before and it worked just fine.
    The video is a MOV file.

    Now, when I get an email in Windows Live Mail with a link to a video i get the error "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action...."

    I can copy the url and paste it right to IE8 and it works fine. I have checked my file associations in Control Panel and MOV is set to open with Quicktime. I tried changing that to Windows Media player but got the same error.

    I was not sure where this should be posted...but thought I would start here!

    Thanks in advance.

Hi, all. I know this title has been used before several times, but the most recent ones talk about problems in the Libraries area, and I have no problems there.

I have uninstalled a program (via control panel etc). And when I check within the ProgramFiles folder it is no longer there. How ever when I look in the Program File X86 folder the program is still there. I thought I must have made a mistake so went back to Control panel / Program files, but the...
