software question

OK so heres the deal:

I downloaded a game on the internet, and I extracted it all with no problem.

However, I cant run the installer, or any of the other files, because it doesnt have any extension.

The installer file name is: "Starcraft Installer" but I see no extension. When I double click it, it just says: choose what program I want to use to open it.

How can I run this file?

Please help!

Thanks,

Joey

not sure this will help, but check Win update and see if you need anything, click Custom

Try giving it a .msi or .exe extension. See if one of those works.

For some unknown reason all of a sudden alll my files are now underlined. As I'd prefer them not to be, i would like, if at all possible to retu7rn to the ununderlined format.
