    " Waiting for approval " until when !????

    It means that it's waiting for approval from your operator and it has nothing to do with Nokia.

    You could call your operator and ask about this approval, someone in technical service may know that how long it takes to approve the newest firmware. (For some reason, every operator has to approve the firmware updates and only after that their clients
    can do the update)

    Erroneous "Open with" options when opening files

    Hello Ghost Data, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    If you like, you can download and merge the .reg file below to clear and reset the Open With list for your .m4a files. It will delete the registry key below that will clear it.

    Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.m4a\OpenWithList][/quote]
    *Arrow Clear_m4a_open_with_list.reg

    *Arrow Clear_m4a_open_with_list.reg[/quote] Hey Brink!

    Thank you so much for that. However, it also happens with .wav .mp3 .aiff etc. Basically, with every single audio type of file.
    Is there a general fix I can apply?

    If you like, post back with a full list of all affected file types you need cleared, and I'll be happy to whip up a .reg file to clear them. *Smile
