Sounds like your file associations are all messed up then.

Go here to download a reg file to restore your default extensions. First, click on the ERUNT link in my signature and backup your registry before you attempt to run it just in case something breaks.

umm which one am i suppose 2 install? cause theirs alot of them and i don't know which one to install

Hmm, I didnt realize they are all individual. Let me ask you this, when did this issue start to occur? It may be easier to do a system restore instead.

[chalao]

well i don't really know when it just starts randomly. the lastest one occur like 3days ago

[diabillic]

Try restoring to a previous time, start with say a week ago and see what happens.
