download problems
When I download a file from the internet to my Downloads folder, it
downloads but the icon next to the new addition is incorrect. When I check in properties the designation is correct(,exe, .zip etc). When I click on the file to open it a dialogue box tells me that there is no such file. I recently replaced my motherboard to an Asus A7N8X. There is a small chance that the problem started prior to the changeover. I don't even know where to begin. Could this be a virus? Can I just remove the offending program or will this present a problem for some with the wrong file designation? Before I changed the board, some of the files may have changed on their own? Could this me someone "punishing" me for having Serialz 2000, which is the file that the icons are changing to, and obviously corrupting the new download? Please help. TIA, Dexter |

TIA, Dexter Dexter, With Windows Explorer go to View Folder Options File Types and remove the EXE, ZIP etc associations with Serialz 2000. After that, If needed, and if you have TweakUI, then under the Repair tab repair associations.
