Hey, I had this problem develop recently. I'm not sure what I did or how I did it, but a few days ago I needed to run a .bin file to install a program and my computer had changed it to a VLC media file. I've run .bin's before but now it says they are improperly formatted and can't open. not sure what I did, but do I need to download something or change them back somehow? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Xeramus...

Have you got VLC Media Player installed on your machine?
