To Derek et all,

In trying fo fix this problem I somehow changed the extention .exe in the Windows/Tools/Folder Options/File Types.

Never do this with the.exe extension because then none of the *.exe files in your computer will work.

The only soltion I found was to re-install WindowsXP.

smart making a backup, too few take it to heart. BTDT, although it was with html for me. I forget where I got this:

save as xp_exe_fix.reg and double click on it. and all is well again. can probably search for it.

as a reg file, you know anything can happen, although I believe it should work.
