Remote Assistance can't find program to run

[Guest]

For a year Remote Assistance worked fine. Then it suddenly stopped finding
the program needed to run when I received a request for assistance. The
request comes with an icon for RCBuddy.MsRcIncident plus a number. When it
asks for a program to run this, the list I get lacks Help and Support, which
seems to be what it's looking for. Using Folder Options I make sure that
Help and Support is associated with MsRcIncident files but to no avail. The
request for help won't run and the programs I am offered lack the one I need
(Help and Support) and have made arrangements for in Folder Options. What
next?

Some old threads suggest this could be an issue with some email clients (not Outlook or Outlook
Express) renaming the file by appending a version number to the end.

Try removing the number extension.
