Hi Freebee Experts, :-)

I have been using this program for a long time and
a few weeks ago it started to do something odd.

If I open the prog and then try to open a file,
there is no problem.
If Photofiltre is not open, I rt-click on a file,
select Open With, and then
choose Photofiltre from the list, the result is:
"... this program is not a valid win32 application."

This doesn't happen with any of my other programs.
Has anyone seen it before?

TIA

Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the program?

Yes, update your virus program and run it. There are several virus that
attack executables in this way.

Portable version works ok for me (open with). Windows Vista Home.

Installed version works OK with XP Pro. Perhaps you could d/l a fresh
portable copy.
