Setting associations

When I want to change the program file that opens a file such as an mp3 I highlight
the file and right click on it, then I click on "opens with" and it gives me a few
limited options and at the bottom of the window it gives me the option of using a
file to be chosen from my other programs. Unfortunately when I click on this I
get a "Windows host process (rundll32) has stopped working." It seems to do this
with any type of file. Does this mean that my 768MB of ram is insufficient? I can't
come up with any other reason but it seems like 3/4 gig should be enough to perform
a simple process like this. Thanks for your help in advance. -Brock

In the first week after RC1 was released, it was reported over 1500 serious bugs
found, so don't expect to much yet. You really have to look at Vista Beta as a toy
to play with, more then a
real useful operating System .

Sure, I understand, I was just hoping that since RC1 has been out for a while someone
else had found a fix or a work around. I've got XP on one partitiion and Vista on
the other and I just continue to set up Vista as I get time. I do hope that I don't
need to do it twice...ie: I can somehow install the Gold version over RC1. I have
over 60 working programs and it takes a little time to creep through all those.
I know I could save myself a lot of time and bother if I waited a few months after
Gold. Thanks for the reply. -Brock

The only reliable way to install Vista when it goes for sale is a Clean install
anyway. I would just play with it the way it is. Install a couple of your most used
Softwares now to see if they work OK, and leave it at that. You are going to spend
most your time debugging Software that doesn't work with Vista right now.
