troubleshoot- file type error, comp wont recognize to open in utorrent

[R9]

Hey all,

I looked around for an answer on this, so i apologize if i missed it somewhere ...... ill timidly reach out and ask this ..... prolly a stupid question anyway, but i cant figure it out!

I recently had my lappy restored and Windows XP Pro installed, and ive updated via windows microsoft updates and all that good stuff

and i have uTorrent

but when i click on a torrent to download (ive tried many many many) instead of the usual pop-up that allows to open in utorrent, I am now getting this message ..... "do you want to save this file or find a program online to open it" options: find, save, cancel .... "type: unknown file type" (im sure you all know that message lol)

so basically my comp isnt recognizing the file to then open with utorrent, i believe

what am i missing? a program or somethin?

thank you very much for helpin!

Peace

ahhh well i saw that, but it didnt quite work for me like that lol didnt have the same options as the faq

worked it out tho

heres what i did, my apologies if it sounds basic/stupid

right clicked on 'download torrent' .... click 'save target as' .... saved to desktop or anywhere .... clicked 'open' ... then proceeded with 'browse to find a program to open this with' ... found and higlighted utorrent and checked 'always associate this type of file with this' or whatever

kinda the same, lil diff maybe?

Thanks

It's what's mentioned, "always associate this type..." Working 100%?

seems to be workin 100%

Thanks!
