Work-around

Solution to restore GraFit version 6.0.10 and later, including GraFit 7

To ensure that the Windows Registry contains the correct information, you need to run the version of GraFit that you wish to associate with the file. To do this, locate the program on the Windows Start Menu, right-click on it and select "Run As Administrator"

You will need to have an Administrator username and password to allow this. Please see your System Administrator if you need assistance.

It is only necessary to run GraFit once in administrator mode in order to reset the file association information, and after the program has launched in administrator mode it can be closed again to allow normal operation.
