It found the file, it read the file, it doesn't like what it read.
At least, that is how it looks to me.  Bear in mind that windows apps
don't really know what they are doing (if they did, they would not use
the hideous windows API...) so message boxes are inherently misleading.
This mail will be sent by an app that raises a message box "Insufficient
memory or disk space" unless I use native riched32.dll.

The app may have expectations for what is a valid .ta0 file.  If the
file doesn't meet them, the app can't open the file.

This file does not have a program associated
with it for performing this action. Create an
association in My Computer by clicking View
and then clicking Options.
