| | Links in game explorer stopped working Hi, I just installed Windows Vista a couple days ago and have been loading programs and games over the last two days. When I click on the start button and then on the games tab on the right column of the start menu, it opens up a games folder (I guess this is called the "Game Explorer"?) containing the game icon and link to that game. Well now I get the following error message when I click on any of them: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel." OK, it doesn't matter what icon I click on, I get the same message. It happens for windows games (ie-Minesweeper) or games I've installed myself (ie-Crysis). Furthermore, I can go into the start button the old fashion way and the game starts fine. (ie - Start-> All Programs -> Games). I can't figure out how to correct this error. If I drag a working link into this folder, then the link stops working. Any ideas? |
