I have two versions of Eudora on my PC but only one (Eudora 8 beta) is
recognized in file folders that contain *.jpg files (as of today).
Before today, I would highlight a JPG and click on Email at the top of
the open folder. Eudora 7.1 would come up and all I had to do was put
in an email address. I should say that I use Eudora 7.1 with two sets
of data - one for me and one for my wife. However, my wife's version
would come up which is what I want. As of today, Eudora 8 beta comes
up when I click on Email. I have no idea how the association changed.
I also don't know why my wife's version of Eudora 7.1 used to come up
instead of mine. There must be a way to reset the association. I
tried resetting the association in Internet Explorer - but only Eudora
8 beta is available as a choice. That's another problem. Why isn't
Eudora 7.1 a choice in file associations in Internet Explorer 8? I'm
sure there is a simple solution for both problems.

This isn't a Vista problem. You'd be better off heading here

I hope I explained it correctly - but I think this is definitely a
Vista issue. My Eudora client is running just fine. It's a matter of
Vista knowing which email client to associate to a folder that contains
photos and videos. At the top of the folder are choices like:
Organize, Views, Open, Slide Show, Print, E-mail, Share and Burn. There
has to be a way to associate apps and Open, Slide Show (probably
defaults to Microsoft), E-mail ans Share. I'm sure there are plenty of
people who use more than one email client. So, if they click on
E-mail, how does Vista know which client to use? VISTA.

In Internet Options select the Programs tab. What you want is in there.

Michael, I know you're trying to be helpful, but I already explained in
my first post that I've tried that - it's the first place I went.
Please go back and re-read the last three sentences of my first post if
you want to help. I get frustrated when I get a response and:
1. The sender has not understood or completely read my post OR
2. The sender sends an obnoxious reply OR
3. I get a reply that has nothing to do with my request OR
4. The sender tells me I didn't send all the appropriate information
needed to solve the problem. Quite often, how am I supposed to know
what other information could be helpful? If you need more information,
please let me know.....

In this case, I can't think of anything else I could send that would
help anyone solve this issue. I think you should also re-read my
second posting. Please don't just 'skim' what I wrote. Read it in
detail and I think you'll understand my issue.

My bad. You're absolutely right. I did skim your first post. Having said
that, I still think it's a Eudora glitch.

I'm glad you took my comments as constructive. Thank you.

Now, yesterday I tried to figure out a way to add my old version of
Eudora to "Set your default programs" and "Associate a file type or
protocol with a program." There is no option that allows the OP to put
in a path to a specific program. I think that is short sightedness of
Microsoft. I found that, when you install a program, certain
information is placed in the Registry and that's where the above two
protocols I mentioned get their information. For some reson, this used
to work so Eudora 7.1 musy have been in the list of email programs to
choose from. Now, they're not there. Now, I did install Eudora 8 beta
several weeks ago and it's a possibility that that action removed
Eudora 7.1 from the list of available email programs and replaced it
with the new Eudora8 beta. I hate to do it if there's another way, but
I'm thinking I could unnstall Eudora 8 beta and reinstall Eudora 7.1 to
get that information in the Registry. I think that would work. The
only problem is - I WANT to use both versions of Eudora on this PC. The
old version for my wife who is comfortable with version 7.1 and very
computer literate. I want to eventually use version 8 (when I get the
time to import and tweak all my settings and other information. Soooo,
i Know this isn't a problem with Eudora per se, but I think the above
protocols can't have two versions of a program with the same name. I
am also reticent about reinstalling Eudora 7.1 over the existing
version because I might screw something up. Next step is - I look at
Eudora 7.1's eudora.ini file and see if there's something there that
would make that version the default email program. Wish me luck.

By the way, I'm 65 years old and I like your comment at the end of your
postings. Id you're savvy enough, maybe you could still help me now
that I've taken the time to post more detail. Thanks.............

Good luck. There's nothing else I can offer you. Hopefully, someone
following this thread can be of further assistance to you.

Thanks for trying Michael. I think I'm really stuck now because I

No, we just don't have information that meets your criteria...

You can possibly find the entries in the registry that Eudora 8 set up,
and duplicate them, mutatis mutandis, to add Eudora 7.1 to the Open
With dialog.
