    I have Vista and a program called Xtreme Pro.

    Clicking on the .xar file a window opens that allows me to select Open With,
    Browsing to the Xtreme.exe and selecting it will not accept my selection.

    If I run the application Xtreme.exe and then click on the file it loads OK.

    I have tried all variations in the Open With window and nothing.

    Is this just Vista mucking around again!!??

    Have you contacted the developer of the program to find out about updates,
    patches or new versions that are supported under Vista?

    Hi Peter,

    Is the Xtreme.exe not added to the Open With dialog even though you browse for the program manually, then use this program:

    Registering programs with the "Open With" dialog:
