Unhappy Help- Everything in word!
I have read the previous post on this but it didnt help as i am using vista and there isnt a file type option on vista. (refering to http://forums.techguy.org/windows-95...-document.html)


So basically all my programs exculding computer options and internet etc. are opening in a word document as an .EXE file.

How can i get them back?

Programs affected include itunes, WebCam Companion 2, DivX installer and uninstaller...

also when i click to open itunes it says : this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel, how can i do this?

there are many so please reply soon
thankyou


PS. I am sorry if this post seems a little dumb but i am new to vista, i used XP in the past whch has the correct options from the post above.
