Set PSP X5 as default for opening images

Post by stamphappymomma »

I have changed all the settings on my computer and in PSP X5 to make it the default program that opens any picture/graphic file except files with the psp and pspimage extension because they aren't even an option. When I try to do it, it reverts back to X4. When I try to make the changes within the program itself, those 2 file extensions aren't even in the list! :( Can anyone help with this issue?

TIA!

Hi Carolyn

When you say "try to do it" what exactly are you trying to do?

Once the file extensions have been set in your PC to automatically open with PSPX5 the images will open. I don't think there is much need to do it in PSPX5 as well.

You say that it reverts to PSPX4! I'm not understanding this as you say you have X5.

In Win7, you need to use Start...Control Panel...Default Programs...Associate a File Type or Protocol With a Program:

Ken,

That is exactly what I try to do, but I can't change it to PSP X5. When I do, it doesn't change, it only allows me to choose PSP X4 or lower. I've tried it numerous times and it always reverts to PSP X4.
