How do I restore .sgf file association to CGoban?

Post by Toge »

I'm using Windows 7 and the association broke at update. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't fix it.

Trying to open .sgf file gives error:
"CouldNotLoadArgumentException[ Could not load file/URL specified: C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\54\21086f76-25c5df68]

Should have remembered to search :geek:

This one fixed the problem:

- Thanks daal!

You're welcome, glad to hear that worked. It seems like a general fix-it-all for cgoban.
