I clicked the file...

The first post of this thread has a link for the PVR800 editor, & a link for firmware. That's why I asked which file you were trying to open.

As mtv1 says, the firmware file isn't associated with any windows programs. It is for use with the editor.

windows can't read it all you meed to do is extract it to your desktop open the tool in there you will see browse click it go to desktop and choose the file then flash the box
