This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in My Computer by clicking View and then clicking Folder Options.

Hi ukgunner,

This seems rather odd.

Is the new software 98se compatible?

Also - are you able to install other software or are you getting the same message?

yeh the software is only compatiable with older widows as is most of my unlocking software thats why i use the laptop with 98SE intstead of XP for this type of software i have not had problems installing any other software on there only this one. If anyone thinks it will help i can email them the software or upload it somewhere for them to check it out and let me know what they think

Hi again :)

I have just downloaded the offending file from your website- and I get the same error message.

I have, however got past the problem - I think.

If you can see the skull icon right click on it. Select "Open with WINRAR"

You will be given a few options - select "Sentinel.exe" This began the installation process - I did not let it continue but it looks as if it should work - I hope :tazz:

Let me know how you get on.
