file "open with" bug in WindowsXP?

[julia]

Hi, there,

I had a problem when I visit some directories. The error
occured and the Windows VC debugging mode appeared
automatically. After I close the debugging window, the
explorer terminated by itself.

I tried to solve the problem. I found this probelm may be
associated with the "open with" option of some files. For
example, for TIFF image file, there are a lot of formats
that can not be opened by one certain program. I delete
the "open with" option for TIFF file type, the error
dissapeared.

However, I think this may be a bug in WindowsXp, because
this error won't appear in the previous Windows version.
And the image should be displayed NULL rather than causing
the system unstable.

Is this a bug of WinXP? Are there other ways to solve this
problem because I still want to associate TIFF files with
certain software to "open with"?

Any suggestion will be appreciated,

Julia

Hi Julie,

Check your settings here. Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this
key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tif].

Change the value of "(Default)" to Imaging.Document

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for your reply!

However, it does not help. Only if I delte TIF and TIFF
file types, there will be no error when I visit some
directories with TIF files. As I said in the previous
post, the TIFF files have a lot of different standards and
formats. Some of TIF files can be opened by a software,
such as ACDSEE, some of them can not. Right now, not a
standalone software can open all of the formats.

However, this error will not happen in the previous
Windows version. It will display nothing rather than pop
up an error message and cause explorer dissapear.

Any further suggestion?
