| Vista Home Premium 64 | Won't associate file type Vista won't let me associate file type jpg with a program other than their defaults. I click on browse and select the program (PaintShop Pro), but when I return it only lets me pick one of the original defaults, not the one I browsed to. If I don't pick one of the defaults, the "OK" won't activate and I have to cancel. What's up with this? Thanks. |

If you don't hit apply it will cause it to revert back to windows photo gallery |
