The icons on my desktop look right and programs does not open.
When I click on any program, it does not matter who it is, I get "Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video. This file format is not supported. "I get this even when I try to open Quicken. I don't know what happened and don't know how to fix it. The only icons that look like they are supposed to and work are computer and recycle bin icons. Someone knows how to solve this problem. I looked in the files by default, etc and can't seem to find what has changed. I can access the programs through the computer icon and opening specific files, such as word documents or images, but cannot get an any of them to open it from the desktop. Help, please! Thank you!
Use this tutorial, see if it will fix the problem.

What system are you on? Did you run the Creative Suite cleanup tool inbetween that installation of your tent? If this is not the case, try this to produce a 'clean' with the default installation. Except that there could be a system specific to the issues at stake, but once again, we would need to actually know what system you are on...
