Always the same program start...

uhm, have you check if the program that you start (click/dbl click) points to
the correct program? sorry, I'm not trying to say that you don't know your
computer, but sometimes Windows acts stupid.

in the icon of the program or where the program shortcut is (usually the
ones found after you click START > all programs > whatever program), do a
right click on it, and go to PROPERTIES. it will open the SHORTCUT tab, and
on the bottom of it, click on "FIND TARGET". see if that shortcut really
points to the actual program, not pointing to that Delphi. or, maybe it's the
file association issue that you think it is. you know how to check that,
right?
 
Hi,

I have a strange problem With Windows XP.

When I start a program, no matter the program I start (MS Word, Norton
Anti-virus, my accounting software), it's always the same program that start
(Delphi 5).

Is it possible that it could be a virus ? I scanned with the last Norton
defenition file and no virus was found.

Is it possible that it could be only a file association issue ?

Please help. (There is a lot of stuff on this pc and I don't want to
reinstall everything.)
 
Finaly, I fixed it!

From the REGEDIT utility, I renamed the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExt
s\.exe
to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExt
s\.old-exe

I don't know what happaned with that. Now, everything works fine.

Thanks!
