Guild Wars Error

I downloaded the trial version of Crossover Games and Guild Wars was working just fine on my Mac. The game updated, I finished playing and closed the program. The next time I tried to open the game I got an error message saying:

"There is no Windows program configured to open this type of file."

After doing some searches through Google it seems as if this has happened in the past after updates to other games.

Is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks.

You're attempting to launch by opening the Guild Wars launcher mini-application from the Finder or Dock? Or by select Guild Wars from CrossOver Games' Programs menu?

You might try selecting Clear and Rebuild Programs Menu from CrossOver's Configure menu. Then try launching it again.

You might also try using the Run Command dialog accessible from the Programs menu. In the dialog, select the bottle with Guild Wars in it. Then click the Browse button and pick the Gw.exe file. Does that work?
