FILENAME EXTENSION PROBLEM I checked Wikipedia's list of filename extensions to see what the affected file might be. And according to them there is no .FDB filename extension. So it is either something totally unique to this program (in which case you need tech support for the program supplier) OR you acquired a filename-extension-changing virus. So if you re-install a clean version of the program and it still crashes then you need some serious virus protection and cleaning software, such as McAfee Hope this helps your comeback. What alot of family history work to lose!!!!
