Guest S1L1Y1 Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I don't remember which program I downloaded and installed because I removed it, since then I have a problem all .DAT files show that icon from that program and in properties it says that it is a Video CD Movie Type and can't open the file because it is a .dat file and not video file. How do I solve it? Sol
