Folding Forum

After installation and trying to run the F@H Client Im getting this error that pops up;

https://client.foldingathome.org
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.


So how do I go about 'creating an association in the Default Programs Control panel'?

I did a forum search and no one has posted this issue. I did a google search and it's a error people get with other programs.

Help would be great, thanks.

(windows 7)

Something to try
Start Button -> Settings (Menu item) -> Apps -> Default Apps -> Set Defaults by App (Scroll to bottom of page)
Find and click your preferred internet browser (mine is Opera, yours may be different) -> Manage
Click the "HTTPS" protocol -> select your preferred browser from the popup

oh wow, that worked. thank you

It worked?
I only just spotted you're using Windows 7.
I was working on the presumption of Windows 10.

Yea it worked. But I had to reformat OS to factory settings anyways, there was only 1 back up date set and it was in 2013.

I expect everything to be running smoothly now- but if run into that issue again I'll know how to correct it
