We can't open SNP files in IE7, although we can via Windows Explorer.

When we try, we're asked if we want to Open, Save or Cancel.

If we respond with Open, then a window pops up titled "File Download" and asks "Do you want to save this file?"

At the bottom is a warning that says "The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is eitehr corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution it is recommended that you cancel the download."

Can anyone assist? Thanks.

This worked for us.

Systems: WinXP SP3 w/IE 7

To work around this problem, follow these steps.

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.snp
3. Double-click the Content Type registry entry, and then replace the existing value with application/snapview
