Thanks Bill but yes,according to my 'default programs and file associations'list inside control panel.There is talk of downloading specific codecs

from the web but I'm trying to avoid this - if possible. Ian

In other words Windows does not know what opens it.

In my 8.1 file associations I have .EXT extension as Unknown Application.

It is either Norton Commander or a binary email script.

please read what is at that link I gave you.
