| Administrator | Re: The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action Hi Skscivicracing, Welcome to the forum.  You just will just need to reassociate your .exe file extensions. Go to this link below and click on the exe in the box and download and save the exefix_vista.zip file to your desktop. Just follow the rest of the Usage Instructions at the site. This should fix your problem for you. http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html Shawn |
