[Ham-Computers] Problem with assigned program (default) foropening files

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Dale,

I'm sure that I did pay but like most packaged sets, the major items weren't 
broken out separately.  I would pursue it but as it happens last year I bought 
3 copies of XP professional (while Microcenter still had them) for our three 
machines.  To be installed when I had to.  But for AV & firewall we switched 
to McAfee because it's free from our ISP, Comcast, and as McAfee unlike Norton 
still runs under W2K, "had to" hasn't yet arrived.  So when my wife recovers 
enough that she can go back to using her machine I'll install one of the three 
XP Pro's on the laptop and not waste any time fighting with Gateway.
