This could be a problem with the order things happened. I think the DC 
Player won't change existing associations - so if your machine 
previously had a Runrev installation on it, then the .rev files would 
remain associated with the RR; then when you de-installed RR, you might 
finish up with no association for a .rev file.

You should be able to re-install the association from the Tools ... / 
Folder Options / File Types menu on any file explorer window - or 
perhaps by re-installing DC Player after removing the other RR applications.

Note you will then run into Bugzilla 2138 - cursor is invisible when 
opened by double-click, no way to exit secure mode.
