I have a question about I get a 'File not found' message when I try to start any program:

how can i use the patch when using mozilla firefox. It downloads as a notepad file and nothing happens.

You must have missed these notes.


# If your browser asks you what it should do with the file, instruct it to save it 
to your desktop. If, instead, your browser simply displays the contents of the file 
in the browser window, select Save from the File menu, and save the file to your 
desktop.
# Next, right-click the new 07-102.inf file, and select Install.
# The fix should take effect immediately.

i tried that but i got an error message saying windows can't open this file. Windows needs to know what program created it.
