    Hi there,
    I hope you can help me, When i connect my digital camera to my vista laptop Via USB it attempts to autoplay but comes up with an error, in the titlebar of the error it says F:\ (the drive letter for the camera) "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the set associations control panel."

    Ok, so i have checked the file extension of the photo's on the camera, and they are .jpg's so i double checked the associations control panel, and even though it was already correct, reset it to the correct program, Windows Live Photo Gallery.

    As this didn't have any effect on the error i decided to force autoplay to ask me what i wanted to do with the file.
    At this point selecting any of the relevant programs to open the files with (including Paint) it would throw the same error about setting the file associations.

    Do you guys have any other ideas? Have you seen a problem like this before?
