Opening files via Default Program

Question

Can someone tell me why my PNG files cannot be opened with
Fireworks if I try to set it as the default program in Windows? I
had Version 6.0 & 8.0 installed on my machine. I was running
them concurrently without a problem. After I uninstalled Fireworks
6.0 the problem occured. I couldnt no longer double click a PNG
file and have it automatically open the program. When I try to
re-associate the PNG extension with Fireworks it doesnt let me
select the fireworks.exe program from C:\Program
Files\Macromedia\Fireworks 8 directory.
Any ideas how to fix this?

ana_rad,
You might try deleting the png file extension from the list
of
associated files and recreating it. That has worked for me in
the past.
