stupid windows

I discovered that I could run dungeon siege LoA on the little laptop, So I installed tankviewer1.02, rapid tank creator 2 and skrit pad. however when I try to associate gas files and skrit files to skrit pad windows xp will not allow me to pick skritpad. I have tried every trick in my pocket. but windows thinks that the only two programs that are the correct ones are acrobat reader and notepad. Yes note pad works but it is not what I wish to ues. next I tried to use tankviewer to look at a dsres and well if I double click a dsres to view and extract it it doesn't however if I open tankviewer and look for a dsres all works just fine. all I can say is WTF and go to bed.

At least I think I found the issues with Kathy and My versions of CMA

the Elf is so mad right now she changes into a Dwarf and kicks windows in the butt.

I've heard rumors that Bill Gates is evil personified.

Need I say more? Tongue

Well I had to bring up this computer in safe mode to take care of some files that I could not remove in normal mode and when I restarted the silly thing SkritPad, TankViewer and Rapid Tank Creator where all associated with the files they should be associated with. Not sure why but oh well its fixed Smile

File associations are evil.
We deal with them almost daily at work since we have machines with full Office and some with Office Viewers only. Any user that moves between the machine types tends to get their associations screwed up and we have to fix them.

Blarrrgggghhh
