creating an association

hi Malke thanks for your time firstly i do have psp on my pc its psp9 the
other was a trial uprgrade which was psp10 which i did not particularly
like. in the file optinis the box is unmarked so i did not have to uncheck it
i have been saving the attachments but that is a longer process for me I
did used to be able to just click on the attachment and the file opened up in
my psps9 it is only since i have taken out the psp10 that this is happening
when i was on the trial psp10 i could open up in psps10 when i clicked on the
attachements hope this is a bit cleares thanks for your time
