    Is this only when you right click on the selected file to choose default program or the same thing when you click the setting from control panel? Another thing to look at is the user account rights, which may cause certain programs be blocked.

Be ready to replace it - Plenty Google Apps don't support it - Sound quality still behind Sony and HTC - Design? Fake metal. HTC still better - I could go...
