Hi,

I installed the release version of Office97 Professional on my primary
develoment machine where I had already installed PaintShoPro 4.1
(registered edition).

Office97 installed automatically a program called photoed.exe which
associated itself with every possible
bmp,tif,jpeg,jpg,gif,rle,pcx,...etc..image format file.

Reinstalling PSP did not correct the associations.

I then uninstalled Office97, and reinstalled PSP -- still no go, PSP does
not restore the image associations as I can still look in File Types,View
and select RLE (for example) and it still points to the location for
...\...\msoffice\photoed.exe instead of the location for psp.exe (from
Explorer View, Options, File Types..)

Any suggestions? I prefer to keep psp as my default image open.print.editor

Thanks.

are you unable to manually change the associations to PSP in view/file
types/edit ?

Mike,

Of course I can manually edit it, but the question is, do I want to :)
I wish PhotoEd would have warned me it was about to replace the
associations.
This is something that anyone using an alternate graphics editor/tool needs
to know, prior to installing Office97/PhotoEd.

Actually, Rasanen, I can't remember EVER installing a graphics package that
did not "take unto itself" all file associations. This "rude" behavior
seems to be commonplace. I'm constantly manually re-associating PSP with
gif, jpg, bmp, tif, etc. because some graphics package (or viewer) changed
associations on me. :-/ Guess that's part of the game these days.
