What do you do when you get the download prompt from the web browser?
The are normally two choices. Execute and save.
For execute, you can select a program. Check carefully what the popup says.

Thanks for responding, after selecting download in NZBMATRIX the following pops up USER ACCOUNT CONTROL....Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer..... Program Name Newsleecher,.... yes or no Selecting yes Newsleecher starts download while selecting no nothing happens

Something goes wrong in the web browser, which one do you use?
It seems to persist in associating NL.

[slipstream54]

I use Chrome . Also, sometimes when I open SAb it says It doesn't have a certificate and I check proceed and have moved it in Kaspersky to trusted

[shypike]

Chrome doesn't like self-signed certificates.
In Firefox you can store those as permanent exceptions, but not in Chrome.

About the NZB files.
Open a command prompt and type:

Code: Select all

assoc .nzb
ftype | find "NZB"

What do these command show as a result?

As you can see I'm not very good from command prompt

Type this literally:

assoc .nzb
ftype | find "NZB"

Press Enter after each line.

try this that forte agent is from along time ago so don't know where it came from

OK, so now open a command prompt as "administrator" and type:
assoc .nzb=NZB File

That should fix it.
Does it?
You may need to restart your browser.

[slipstream54]

unfortunately no, tried several downloads after rebooting but Newleecher keeps coming up as my only option

[shypike]

I'm afraid you will have to google for methods to clean up file associations

[slipstream54]

thanks for your efforts, I wonder what would happen if I uninstalled newsleecher, might that allow SAB to start after NZB looks for a downloader or will I probably have nothing come up and then have to reinstall newsleecher and settings.
