From a pm from Philosopher: -
Philosopher wrote:I NEED SERIOUS HELP!
You see, while installing my JA+ 2.3 information into my JA folder, I converted the JA game into a WORD document. I could'nt change it back and to make matters worse, EVERY file is now converted to a WORD document! PLZ help if you can.
Help me Master Jawfin, your my only hope lol.
As I have absolutely no idea what you mean, I thought I'd throw this open to the audience.
If I really had to guess though, it sounds like Word is now the new default program for opening some kind of file extension... maybe screenshots of your issue please?

Why and how did you convert the JA game into a word document? All you have to do for installing JA+ is a simple unzip of the compressed zip folder.
Also, when you say "JA game" could you list the specific file names which have been infected by this self-made tragedy?

The issue is that when I converted the game file Jedi Knight Jedi Academy, to a word documet now called JediAcademy, WORD became a DEFAULT program that converted nearly ALL my applications and files into WORD documents, if anyone knows how to bring these applications and files to their correct program, plz tell me.

I also cant give you screenshots because my snipe tool is unaccesible.
So ill paint the image:
Most icons on my desktop and windows are fitted with the Microsoft Word symbol on them, representing how they are ALL set to WORD as their default program.

You changed the default file association from its default program. Which is why multiple applications and files are opening in word.
Here's directions on how to switch them back.

The program associated with JKA is....JKA.
To get a screenshot simply press the Print Scrn button on your keyboard (alt+Print Scrn if you want just the focused window).

Do a system restore.
jamp.exe is multiplayer
jasp.exe is single player (duno on this one, at work)
Don't mess with stuff unless you know what your doing

Screenshot your jka folder to get a better idea of what's going on. Doubt you changed the .exe's since win7 doesn't allow it.

You can't fully convert the file into a word document, what you can do is change the extension on accident or like they said change the program that the .exe opens in. So we can help more you need to press prt scrn which will be to the right of F12 and above insert/home/page up on a standered keyboard, then you can open mspaint, copy paste the image, crop or add lines and arrows or whatever you like, save the image upload it to imgur.com copy the address for that file and paste it here and we can look at it and give you better feedback.
Also here is this.
Instructions on how to check your file extensions
