| 701094 | 2008-08-28 22:04:00 | I have XP Pro. My hard drive on my laptop has 3 partitions. When I go into explorer to open a partition the 'choose the program you want to use to open the file' box opens. No problem, I'll just point it to explorer and it works. But the problem is the tick box 'always use the selected program' is blanked out. I'd show you a screenshot but my print screen doesn't work. What can I do to fix this? I've had a virus on my laptop and am not sure if it's gone or what damage it has done. Currently I have Avast installed as AVG 8.0 hogs resources. |
