Problem with box score in external browers

swoboda · 09-08-2014, 01:42 AM

Don't know how I messed this up but I can no longer open boxscores via external browser.

Was able to do it yesterday to print one (18K performance) but then today I get an error message stating

"Paint cannot read this file, it is not a valid bitmap file or is not currently supported"

Have tried it for other boxscores even other saved games, same error message

I use Windows 8

Somehow you changed your default program to handle .html files to Microsoft Paint. Paint was meant for graphics files, not HTML.

Not sure how to do it in Windows 8, but I would do a Google search on how to change your default program for html back to your browser app.

There is a default program function in control panel.
