This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action

Under Windows 7 I get this message each time I insert a CF card containing NEF files:

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.  Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default programs control.

In Default Programs my default association for a NEF file is Capture NX2.  My autoplay pictures default is PM 4.6.1.

Is there any way to stop this message?

Are you running a 64-bit Windows 7?
Can you post a screen shot of the message dialog?

Thanks,

Yes, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Deven,

Yes, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

What happens when you click on the OK button?

When I click OK, the dialog box closes and I go to PM and do Ctrl+G.

Under XP, when I inserted a CF card PM would automatically go to the Ingest dialog box.  I'd like to have that same behavior under Windows 7.

The AutoPlay handler in the Photo Mechanic installer is not a 64-bit module.  That said, I think someone on the forums figured out a way to get it to work in some way.  It was fairly recently that they posted their solution.

Are you refering to

... if that is the thread, then I am unable to move the files as suggested because "access is denied."  I suppose if I started Windows in some sort of repair mode I could move the files, but I am not ready to try that just yet ...

Log in as administrator and you should be able to copy the files.

Try sending a personal message to the user GlobalTech and get more details about how they solved the issue.

Are you perhaps moving instead of copying?

[devenh]

Tried both moving and copying ...

Weird, perhaps, as you already thought of yourself, starting the system in "safe boot" mode works. If that doesn't work, try booting from a CD/DVD, go to the command-line, and try from there. The problem is I can't test this for you as my main system is a Mac and I only have a 32 bit version of Windows 7 in a VM (and that, the test version Microsoft made available to the public).

Sorry,
