Are you trying to open something with a file extension not recognized by your PC?

Here's some extensions for the ones you said, but do tell what the file extension is
.pdf = Adobe Reader
.torrent = uTorrent
.html/.htm/.php/.xml/etc. = Internet Explorer
.wmv/.mp3/.aac/etc. = Windows Media Player
there's more but I'm tired of typing these
to know what the file extension is, right click, and select properties on the file
the file extension will be listed under "Type of File: WinRAR Archive (.rar)"
the WinRAR is an example

From what I've been told from him, ist random, doesn't matter what file type. Said problems started today, tryed to get him to do a system restore to yesterday or the day before, but when he tried to open that program it asked what program to run it. When we tried to see if he had system restore activated through the system setup, none of the tabs changed. Short of fully restarting his computer with the boot disks (which are awol) I don't know where else to direct him. He's runnin vista btw. So thats my synopsis of his problem. Some config prolly was changed or possible virus is my diagnosis.

Were you looking at porn???? I think some one got a porn bug in their system
Should be no reason it would just start asking for what program you want to us. When that pops up just means there has not been a program ever installed on your computer that would know how to open or use that extension.
