Hi, To change how a program opens, right click on the program or file click open with... then select the software you want the file or program to open with.
Hope this helps you,
Kind Regards

I am also running Vista and now when I try to open things up I get the message that Adobe Reader could not open different applications. So, I was advised from computer support to remove the application and go to cnet and get a free Adove Acrobat Reader and download it to my computer. When I download it and then try to run the Adobe Reader I get a message that says Adobe Reader could nt open 'acrobatreader-pppcorm(1).exe' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...
Could you please advise me.
Thanks,
Cherri
