696801 2008-08-12 14:45:00 Im trying to open a file but when i double click it, it looks like it opens the command prompt for a millisecond then just closes.

Command prompt opens fine tho on its own. If i open command prompt and type in the path to the file it says "Is not a reconised as an internal or external command, operable programme or batch file"

I know the file works because about 500 people have used it fine

Any ideas, i had this problem on my old pc but cant remember how to fix it. My windows xp is pretty old. I did an update of some sort on my old pc to fix it.


thanks
mark

Dont know if this will be of any help, but have a read of This forum (www.techsupportforum.com) - see if your problem is similar.

Edited:

If you problem is the same go to This site (www.dougknox.com) and download the exe file fix on the left. The ones in the forum site above dont appear to download correctly.
