HELP! I Can't open html files all of a sudden!

Postby Saliere » Fri Apr 20, 2007 10:56 pm

A lot of the books on this site are html files and thus far I hadn't had any trouble opening them after using winrar but all of a sudden any book I try to open that is html I'm gettin an error saying "Cannot Execute'C:/...". Even books I had been able to open before I can't open now. Anyone else have this problem? And the icon for html files changed too. It's now blue with a white swish through it. What's going on? Please help!!!!

Have you installed any new programs recently if so maybe the file association has changed for html files.

Right click the html book you want to open and click OPEN WITH, select the option CHOOSE PROGRAM.

When the list appears scroll down till you fin your default browser click it once then make sure the option underneath called ALWAYS OPEN WITH THIS PROGRAM is ticked.

Press ok and it should open in your browser.

If your using internet explorer I would strongly recommend getting Mozzila Firefox and making it the default browser. But try the above first.

Hope that helps :)
