Windows Vista >> Open With Problem I have Vista and a program called Xtreme Pro.

Clicking on the .xar file a window opens that allows me to select Open With,
Browsing to the Xtreme.exe and selecting it will not accept my selection.

If I run the application Xtreme.exe and then click on the file it loads OK.

I have tried all variations in the Open With window and nothing.

Is this just Vista mucking around again!!??

Windows Vista >> Open With Problem Have you contacted the developer of the program to find out about updates,
patches or new versions that are supported under Vista?

Windows Vista >> Open With Problem Hi Peter,

Is the Xtreme.exe not added to the Open With dialog even though you =
browse for the program manually, then use this program:

Registering programs with the "Open With" dialog:=20
