Thanks but the last time I installed new software from a chat room my computer OS completely went kaput. I can't face that again - not for a minor problem.
I can vouch that the free program Types would be good one to try to get the file to open with DxO v7.1.
Thanks Sean. That helps.
Tried Types and they couldn't find DxO at all in list of programs under the .cr2 file extension.... ???
I would recommend to also contact DxO and report this issue to them to see if it may be a known issue with that program and if they may have a solution or workaround.
Thanks... done.
What do you think that item in the registry means?
It's a registry entry added when you installed the program for reference of it's exe file used to run the program. However, it could also be a orphaned remnant from the older version of the program you had installed as well.
If you like, you could try modifying the path part of the entry to that of the exe file for the version instead to see if that may help.
That's what I was thinking but to do it I'd have to make a new one, right? and then delete the old one? I didn't see a way to just change the wording to v7 instead of v 6. If so, which option under "new" do I use?
If you could post back with the full path of the .exe file for the new version of the program, I'll be happy to create a REG file that you could use to change this registry entry automatically for you.
