application, nor could I run "Restore". It was OK right after install. Not
sure how I got to this point.
There were 3 areas after install that did not have the right drivers. I was
trying to correct when I noticed the system went west. These were: the AMD
processor had an "!" next to it with the comment driver not loaded, trying to
re-load did not help, The printer did not install, Lexmark 7170, and the
driver for my monitor, Samsung 930b did not load - it went to default.
I had to re-load Vista and all three were OK, no problem with File
Assocuiation.
If it was something I did to reset the file association, it was blank for
"exe" I do not know what I did, but it would seem that this is so basic that
there should be some protection. I did try to set the file association to
"basic dll" but this was only a partial help.
