| 795859 | 2009-07-28 03:50:00 | Hi, Vista Home Premium I have an e'mail which has a MPG 1.6mb attachment. When I attempt to open it I get the message This file does not have a program associated with it. Create an association in the Set Associations control box. Firstly I can't find the Set Ass. in the control box, and secondly can't find a suitable free program to associate it with, a little help would be appreciated |

| 795861 | 2009-07-28 04:14:00 | Or download Windows Media Player Classic (mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/)I'm sure that plays MPG or VLC Player (http:) will as well. | wainuitech (129) | ||
