If a file won't run ... Thursday, December 25, 2008 at 11:11 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rudy Kreubel (150 messages posted) In the past, I have had incidences where downloaded files won't run because they are not being opened with the right programs on my system. My first question is: How can I get my system to try the other programs which it may have in order to run these files? My second question is: If I have a file that won't run at all on my system because it might have an extension that is wrong or previously inheard of on my system, what general steps or procedure should I take in order to get the thing to work? Thanks. Responses to this message: re: If a file won't run ... (samspade: Thursday, December 25, 2008 at 12:32 pm) re: If a file won't run ...
