Thanks Colin, up until the other day I was able to open Fits in MaximDL and CCD soft from the location the Fits images are in (Desktop folder). The other day while I was doing something else and opening an image a window popped up that I thought was asking do you want to set this as default and clicked yes. Looking back on that I have probably changed the way the system handles Fits files. I can click on a jpeg or any other format that CCD Soft and MaximDL handle and they immediately open. So it would seem to add weight I have changed something re fits images only.
It's not a huge problem because I can still open CCD Soft or MaximDL and then go to file and open the image, just frustrating what I have changed.
Thanks Marc, When I did a Google of the error message much came up about Excel and Office and there were several remedies offered but none I could use with CCD Soft or MaximDL.
Thanks John, As above there is much is noted on Google about the error message. I think there were fixes for Win7&8 as well.
Win 10 has this nutty way of defaulting images to its own photos app. I use Irfanview for my jpegs etc and even after setting defaults in there (not for fits) it would still go to the photos app. I found much on Google and how you can change this in Default Settings and was hoping this my give me a clue, but there was no Fits to change in there.
