When you open SmartCam this way, it doesn't start in the "C:\SM11\SYSTEM" folder. Therefore SC can't locate some critical files.
A way around this is to get an old "PIF" file, edit it to open SmartCam from within the proper start folder, and associate your .PM4 files with the "PIF" file using the method you described. The drawback to this is that the file name of the .PM4 file will be shortened to 8 characters when you save.
I can't post a "PIF" file. A lot of virus checkers think all "PIF" files are viruses and will reject them.
