Accessing aspire 8 training videos

[Chuck Keysor]

Hello Shopbot Friends. I have just now logged onto Aspire 8. The first thing I wanted to do was to look at the training videos.:)

There is a nice link on the left margin for browsing the training videos. But when I click on the link, my "Libre Office" (poor man's Microsoft Office) opens up, and I get a static image of what I am guessing I am supposed to see. In the upper left, it says "Training Materials". Below that it says "Vectric, passionate about cnc", below that is "By Category" on the left, and "By Project" on the right.

But it is just an image, where little green points light up around the edges of buttons when depressed. No matter what I do, I can not access anything by clicking or dragging on this page.

While I am sure that I can find the training videos on the Aspire website, I'd rather access them through my main Aspire portal.

1) What do I do to fix this problem?
2) When the video pack for Aspire 8 is released, will it contain anything more than what I can access on-line? Or is it a matter of faster access and better video quality? How much will it cost?

Thank you, Chuck

Chuck, it sounds like your Libre Office suite is associated with .html files. You'll have to change the association to whatever browser you use (IE, FireFox, etc.)

Thank you Scott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using Windows 8, and found the Windows Control Panel page you directed me to. And you were correct, html was associated with Libre Office! Why that would be, I have no clue. But it was an easy matter at that point to change the html association to IE.

The fix with your guidance took a couple of minutes. Without your help, I would have spent hours stumbling all around and probably never figured out what to do!

Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chuck:)
