Try doing a restore back to before you installed the application. Then install again, but be wary of accepting any inclination to assign file associations.

Now it wants to associate file type I prefer to open with different programs. I opened the file associations window and found the entries in a tree view but there are no graphics, checkboxes or any other indication if a type is on or off. The Jaws cursor doesn't even see any text. Any ideas how to repair my associations without sighted help? Bob
