Default There is no viewer capable of viewing Text Document files.

Hi all,
When right click a TEXT file in Windows Explorer, the
above error message prompts out. I've checked that in the
file assoication setting, the "view with quick view" is
selected. Did anyone encounter the same problem? Please
help.

Change the file association for Text documents, to C:\Windows\Notepad.exe
You edit the association through Start Settings Folder Options File Types tab.

Thanks Glen,
I know that I can use other apps to view the text
file, eg, Wordpad, Notepad, WinWord..... But I want to
use QuickView to view it. Any other alternatives to fix
this problem. Appreciate your great help.

Uninstall and reinstall QuickView from Add\Removes Programs Windows Setup, then set
your association again.

I've tried before but unfortunately this can't fix the
problem. I found something similar in MS, KB293041, is
due to some registry problem. Don't know is there any fix
for it. Anyway, thanks for your great help.

I am not clear on exactly what you are trying to do and how you are going about it.
In your original post, you wrote:

Do you have text files associated with QuickView instead of Notepad, or are you
actually RIGHT-clicking them and choosing QuickView from the context menu?

Click Start Settings Folder Options File Types tab Text document, click the Edit
button, and post back with exactly what is shown there....everything.
