Can't open documents

[ianmcarey]

Hi, I installed FC last week (Win2000 SP4), and it worked fine until yesterday, when I lost the ability to open documents in a folder by double-clicking. Instead, the window flickers briefly and reloads. I can only open the documents by right-clicking and selecting "open" or dragging and dropping into the application window.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling FC, didn't help. I also tried changing to "open files with single click" and got the same result.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ian

Clarification: it seems to be happening with files associated with Adobe Illustrator--.eps, .ai, etc. Other types of files seem to work.

Hi ianmcarey

Are you able to open the same documents by double clicking them in Explorer?

[ianmcarey]

Yes. No problem from Explorer.

If you are using NC mode or Hot Track then please turn them off.

What version of FC are you using?

[ianmcarey]

I'm using 2008.06c. NC and HotTrack are unchecked.

Did you try "clean install", or run FC using these parameters?
