When I try to open a program, a window opens asking what I would use to open the program. Why?

I can right click on some of my desktop icons and click Start to get the program running, but not for all.  The window that opens tells me to choose a program I want to open the file.  I don't know why it does this.  It all started yesterday.  Some programs like itunes will still not open.  A small window pops up that says: Application not found.      Help!

Hi ecm1225,

You can run the Fixit in the following article to see if it helps.
