Hello and Welcome !!

Follow this Link Default File Type Associations - Restore - Windows 7 Forums and download "EXE" and "INK" and apply it and reboot the System and see if that works. If that didn't work then Perform a Repair Install Repair Install - Windows 7 Forums . If you don't have a disk follow this Tutorial System Repair Disc - Create - Windows 7 Forums

Hope this helps,

What first one ?? I didn't suggest anything that you have to pay for !!

Ok lets start over again

1.Download this file "Link Removed due to 404 ErrorLink Removed due to 404 Error" and "Link Removed due to 404 Error"
2. Save the .zip file to your desktop.
3. Open the .zip file, then extract the .reg file to the desktop.
4. Right click on the .reg file and click on Merge.
5. Click on the Run button in the Security Warning pop-up.
6. Click on Continue (UAC), Yes, and OK when prompted.
7. When done, you can delete the downloaded .zip and .reg files on the desktop if you like.
8. Log off and log on, or restart the computer to apply.

Hope this helps,
Captain
