Title: Comp
Post by: Quezecoatl on September 24, 2009, 10:13:15 AM
seems my computer doesn't want to open .exe files anymore (hates this comp so much) I can still access Uo by using the one click gateway link though but its a hassle to even get with it so might not be on for a bit.

This was the fix for XP:

Open up my computer, tools, folder options.  File Types tab (or similar)

new, type "exe" as the extension, and browse and use the type "application"
