Ah, the error you see there is caused by installing windows 10, it is a basic error and can be fixed by installing a proper operating system. The best cure in this case is Windows 7.

Since you are seeing two Pale Moons, delete one of them.

That is a stupid question.. Here is a better one.. Do you or have you been switching between 32 and 64bit versions?

I just checked and I have two as well. They both show that they have the same defaults so it's obviously not two different programs. Only one is installed. Windows 10 is stupid, but unfortunately my hardware will not work with 7. I wouldn't worry about it.

Does you also see two Pale Moons in Default Programs/Web browser? If not, just use that.

No. But i use the 32bit Version as portable and that one is not registered in Windows.

I would have been stayed on Windows 8.1 if there still would be driver support or some software company's would still support it. I don't like 10, but there is no way around it.
7 has 1 year support left and looks like a kid has drawn it. That ugly frayed ball in the taskbar and the ugly frayed round windows corners :crazy:
