Summary0006508: DF installation has killed my laptop
DescriptionAttempted to download DF on laptop yesterday. As a result, nearly every file, including executables, has been turned into an Adobe file. Or perhaps more accurately, it attempts to open every file with Adobe reader. As a result, I can pretty much do nothing with it. I can't run a virus check, I can't look at system properties, I can't obtain a command prompt, I can't access the CD drive, and I can't get online. I did manage to run a scan with Windows Firewall; nothing was detected. And as far as I can tell, DF did not even download. HELP!
Steps To ReproduceI clicked the download button at http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/

This isn't a DF problem. I suggest right-clicking on files and using "Open with" to reset how files are opened. You may also want to run a real virus scan. Good luck! Feel free to post on the Bay 12 forums for general PC help:
