Do they open at all? Does this affect all file types?
What do PDF files open in, if not Acrobat Reader? Did you install MS
Journal Viewer?
What do MPG file open in, if not WMP? Did you install another media player?
Are you up-to-date at Windows Update? Ave you tried disabling your
anti-virus app and/or firewall (Careful!) to see if one or both of them may
be interfering?
