This is a known bug in Mathematica 3.xx for MS. If the frontend is not launched, double clicking on an file icon will open the file correctly. If the front end is already running, either you must open your file with Mathematica command File/Open, or you can drag and drop the file icon on Mathematica bar. Hope this helps, **************************************** Jean-Marie THOMAS Conseil et Audit en Inginierie de Calcul Strasbourg, France **************************************** -----Original Message----- From: Martin Rommel [mailto:rommel@bc.edu] To: mathgroup@smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg12141] [mg12107] Frontend problems under NT 4.0 Not long after installing (and the same after reinstalling after changing to NTFS) Mathematica 3.01 on an NT 4.0 machine the file extension mapping broke. Double clicking a notebook file produces an error that Mathematica cannot find the file "tica.exe". It seems the long file names with spaces do not get handled properly. Since Mathematica is the only program with that problem I suspect it. Any help? Another nuisance is that after closing the help browser the editing window does not become active again until I click it. -- \\\\ //// C-@,@ J. Martin Rommel (rommel@bc.edu) @/@-o "\ -/ \o /*
