File Type

[Guest S1L1Y1]

I don't remember which program I downloaded and installed because I removed

it, since then I have a problem all .DAT files show that icon from that

program and in properties it says that it is a Video CD Movie Type and can't

open the file because it is a .dat file and not video file. How do I solve

it?

Could have been 'Nero - Burning Rom' or perhaps some other media

player. See if this posted by Alan Edwards help you out:

Important! Also there should be no '>' characters at the line

beginnings, like there where when i quoted Alan's post. It should

look like what's below instead.

>> The last line must be blank.

>> Doubleclick fix.reg

 

-----copy below this line fix.reg------------

REGEDIT4

 

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dat]

 

---- end file above here

Re: File Type

 

Thank You for your reply is it possible that the following problem I have is

associated with this problem:

Since yesterday when I click a link that has to open a new window it will

not open, I tried Firefox and it does work only in Internet explorer it

doesn't. I have Windows 98SE and IE6.

Re: File Type

 

No, that's an entirely different problem. I recommend you start a new thread

with a new post about your latest problem. Keeps things unconfused.
