is there a microsoft program that is free, which is open to all types of files?

I am running xp media center edition, it doesn't seem to be able to open anything more, HELP PLEASE

I don't know if you still looking for assistance/response. Just in case where you are:

No, there is not a single application available from Microsoft, or anyone else, that opens all types of files. {Off tools of some programmer whose screen would show probably nothing that is recognizable or useful to you.}

To help, we need to know more. The name of the applicartion that created the file or the file name extension (the part following the last in the name of the file) or a few example file names woul help.

    If you have mutiple file extensions that have been changed, you were probably victim of some malicious programs and your best choice of action (as malware rarely comes without friends and other riders) is a complete wipe and the new installation of the tracking updates and restoring your file system and personally connected since the last known good backup applications you did.
