Recently I uninstalled Photoshop 7.0 and installed CS3 on my Vista Home system. Suddenly my .PSD files are no long associated with photoshop, and what's more, I can't seem to add the association.

When attempting to open a .PSD file Windows tells me that there is no program associated with the filetype and that I need to select one. Photoshop does not appear in the list of available programs as it should, so I click the browse button and select Photoshop.exe manually. Unfortunetely Vista utterly ignores this. Photoshop still does not appear in my list of programs to select from even though I just manually pointed it to the program.

So I tried to use Vista's Default Program utility from the control panel. PSD is not in the list of extensions and there is no option in Vista (like there was in XP) to add an extension/association manually... you can only change the existing ones.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
-Jack

firstly, adobe got rid of the psicon.dll for cs's as it caused a few problems when saving files. It is annoying but if you google you can find some reg hacks that will sort it out for you - but use at you own risk as messing with regedit can serious bring your system to it knees( you've been warned ) - I just use bridge nowdays.

Not sure how to fix the file association issue - Maybe reinstall CS3 - otherwise I'm not sure...sorry
