Not opening PNG

Question

Why is it when I create a PNG file in fireworks and save it
as such does it not open automatically with fireworks? Meaning that
when I click on the icon it brings up the "Open with" box, and
Fireworks is not an option. (not only is it not an option, but
nothing happens with I search out Fireworks) How do I fix this? I
realize this is more likely a windows problem, but it does not
happen to any other file type, so I thought I might get the answer
here.

Hi Gary (assuming that it is your name, no?) :)
Anyways, I am not sure if I fully understand the nature of
your problem not able to open your PNG file in Fireworks.
Which version of Fireworks are you working with?
Tell me what exactly steps did you save the PNG file, if you
remember what steps. There are "two" kinds of PNG files that
Fireworks works with. First one is native, raw PNG specifically
formated for Fireworks' functionality purpose, I believe. The
obvious 2nd format is PNG specifically designed for web PNG format,
it is technically totally different from raw, native Fireworks PNG
format.
Finally, I am not sure how or what caused the problem you are
experiencing. It could be the case of corrupted PNG file, I don't
know.
And also be sure to state the exact version of WIndows, too.
Thanks,
Brian
