I am using Vista Ultimate Thank you. pshoe The .DLL file extension is set to "Unknown application" as the current default by default in Vista. This mean that it is associated to nothing. You can fix your problem by unassociating the .DLL file extension. This tutorial will show you how. Unassociate File Extention Type Shawn |

Now all DLL files on my computer have the"Audacity" logo. The way I understand it the software you recomended only unassociates the DLL extension from the file and not the program that opens it. Is there some way to accomplish this? Thank you, pshoe |
