dont open anymore music files :D:

right click on one file.. go down to the "open with" and select real player or media player or somthing.. that might work..

or right click on a file , go down to the properties and there shold be somthing about the type of files in there.. once u change one file back it will probaly change them all

a program probably just overwrote what you had before for your associated extensions... so now instead of, for example, winamp opening your mp3's, you have some other program opening up your mp3 files, which would result in a different icon beside the file

if you're using winamp, go into settings and there's a dialog to re-link all of the associations

some well known virus (nimda?) overwrites all your mp3s with a script file to repropogate itself.

you're probably fucked. get a virus scanner.

hey!
i had the same problem once

the files mite not of been changed
i fuqin fliped wen this happened but then noticed sumthin
the scripts rnt even the actual mp3
the mp3s shood all be hidden files in the folder
so goto your folder options and show all files
then if u see them
rite click em all
and unclick hidden in there properties
then u can delete all the script shit
pm me for more details

yeah
that definetly sounds like a nimda virus or something like it.

first, get rid of the nimda virus
then get rid of kazaa and get kazaa lite. (that won't nessassarily stop you from downloading viruses, but it'll be alot more efficient with your computer's resources)
