Thank you talleyrand and mudgard,
Sorry, I just get a 'pling' sound, no error messages. Not sure what means 'view in web browser' activated for the document class in question. I have set html and htm files to open in Internet Explorer, txt files to open in TextPad.
This morning I got my activation details after having paid the money, but could not start program administrator, when I select and enter password I get 'The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.' Maybe there is a connection.
It seems that this program does not agree with me, or am I just being ignorant?

I have listed out below the actions you need to take. You may have some of these implemented already.
1. Right click the web browser icon
2. Choose Properties / Programs
3. Select TextPad as the HTML editor
4 . Click OK
Next:
Please implement the following:
From the Explorer (My Computer)Tools menu choose:
1. Folder options
2. File types
3. Scroll down and click on HTML
4. If it is not associated to your web browser, click on Change
5. Select the Web browser
6. Click OK
Next:
In TextPad:
Please implement the following. From the Configure menu choose:
1. Preferences
2. "+" next to Document classes
3. HTML
4. Check the View in web browser box
Please also ensure that the files are in the relevant folder, as listed under Configure / Preferences / Folders / WWW Root folder.
I hope this helps.

View in Web Browser
Hi all,
I am having similar problems to what has been posted here. I made all of the changes that were mentioned, and I can get html files to launch in my browser. The problem is I am also working with php files and those do not seem to work. They just don't get handed over to Firefox.
Any suggestions? I checked the html document class and it includes .php and seems good to go.
Best,
Stephen

Problem fixed!
Okay, what I needed to do was actually pretty simple. I simply right-clicked a .php file in Windows Explorer and clicked 'Open.' That brought me to a screen where I could choose Firefox as the program to open my .php files by default. Windows tried to steer me toward associating it with TextPad, but obviously that is not the way to go. You have to browse for Firefox and choose it.
Cheers!

Re: Problem fixed!
it doesn't make too much sense to open .php files with a browser without involving a webserver and php interpreter ...stephwo wrote:Okay, what I needed to do was actually pretty simple.

Hi,
I actually figured my issue out though. With the help of people in this forum. You probably need to use your web server and php interpreter to host the files, and then access them in your browser by putting localhost in the url bar.
