etienne mercier | Hi
I try to associate the DAT extension to dbsys.exe with windows 7. It seems impossible because after having selected the dbsys.exe file, it doesn't appear in the list. Do anybody can give me a hint? Many thanks. Etienne |

"Raul" | Just use the "open with ..." command from right-click menu and then "Choose
default program" - that windows let's you browse for any exe. Works on Win7 Pro (32bit).

"Raul" | Curious - definitely works with English version as I do have dbsys
associated with dat files. Any chance you have an AntiVirus or Spyware protection that prevents file association changes ? (or general system changes). The other place to try, if you have not already, is the Control Panel -> Default Programs as it has a option for file association (explorer path is "Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations") - Sorry, I have no idea how it's named in French version. Scroll to .dat and try changing it there (this should be same as "open with..." command though but maybe worth a try) Raul "etienne mercier" <etienne.mercier@bissada.com> wrote in message news:BAEB25B2-4A9E-4DDD-92E3-F27DAE0B16F9@news.elevatesoft.com... > what I did many times without any success... > so it doesn't work on win 7 pro (32bit) french !! > > > __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4839 (20100205) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com |

etienne mercier | Thanks for all your suggestions, but I laready tried all of them. I will continue to investigate. At least I know that it is possible to set the
association! Thanks again. "Raul" wrote: Curious - definitely works with English version as I do have dbsys associated with dat files.

<< I changed the name of the dbsys.exe and it works!! >> That is bizarre. Are you actually using any anti-virus software ? Windows, by itself, should not care what the name of the executable is. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I was reading a warning about the latest problems with Windows, some dating back to W 3.1. Meanwhile, I see the executives of Toyota immediately assuming responsibility for a defective product.

<< There could have been some screwup in registry from previous attempts. I was reading a warning about the latest problems with Windows, some dating back to W 3.1. >> This is true - certain parts of Windows and other MS products are particularly sensitive to registry entries being structured in a certain way. For example, the default value not being set to an empty string for a registry key. << Meanwhile, I see the executives of Toyota immediately assuming responsibility for a defective product. A different culture, I guess... >> Well, you'd think that people would learn that it's the cover-up that always makes it much worse. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
