| | Game ? Hi Group, I went to Start > Games and clicked on a game and got this error. This file doesn't have a program associated with it for performing this action, Create an association in the set associations control Panel. So, How can I do this? Seems like vista is closing down. Games don't work index does not work What's next? |
