Several programs I try to open evidently need a file called "Acrophobia.exe". I have looked at Microsoft and every other place I can think of. What is this file that is so important and where can I get it?

Acrophobia could be a game that associated files have been linked to that may have been uninstalled from the machine and the associated file is missing to run the program

If you had any game on computer that is associatedwith the fear of heights,reload the program,also use your search,find- files or folders to find on computer

From a quick web search, in addition to fear of heights, acrophobia also is used by the low-rider community, and a game from Berkey Systems that involves acronyms.

I found no virus reference. However, that is still a possability.

There are various ways to restore file associations.

In Windows Explorer, click on the settings / preferences (actual location varies by windows version)
Click on the file types tab.
Scan through the file types, and remove any that use Acrophobia.exe to open / run the program.

For some, you may want to change them to the correct program, rather than delete them.

Another option to correct this kind of problem is a registry / system repair utility, such as Norton WinDoctor, or V-Com Fix-It.

Both do a good job of finding and helping you correct bad file associations and links.
