  1. How do you reset a file to what it originally opened with?


    so I was messing around with some files and accidentally changed a GMPU file to HTML file and am not sure how to fix it, the only problem is I don't know where the original file was located, if anyone can

    a: tell me where I can find the Java file.

    b: tell me how to reset it to what it initially opened with.

    that'd be much appreciated

    opening .dds files with gimp

    Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
