Set default problem

[Guest Robert Bristow]

I have a problem setting my e-mail default program to Turnpike on Vista

ultimate 64 bit.

 

Turnpike is set as my e-mail link in customize start menu. I have tried

running the program default setup, but I can't find turnpike in the list

of available programs. I reply yes to set turnpike as default e-mail,

news and address book as turnpike starts but every time I open turnpike

I have to reset it as default.

 

I have tried setting turnpike up in default programs but it is not

listed and I can't find away to add it to the list of programs.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you know where Turnpike keeps its settings? Vista imposes strict

security as to where programs can write data so Turnpike may be failing

(silently) to write the information.

it's because Turnpike is a 32 bit program. try defaultmail -

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/defaultmail.htm

 

you will probably need to reset every time you download an Office

update or Service Pack, etc.

I have an idea where to find it, I'll see what I can do there. Thanks

Thanks Barb, if all else fails I'll give that a try.

Thanks for the help, it looks like the problem is with Turnpike. In the

end the cure was to tell Turnpike not to ask if I wanted it to be

default again. Problem masked if not cured, as I will probably have a

problem when windows or office updates.
