RMA form in unknown format??

alexuslakes · 17 May 2007 at 17:26

i've been sent an RMA e-mail form the company i got my laptop from. it contains an attachment which i'm supposed to fill in and send back. unfortunetly, after i've downloaded the file i cant open it. if i double click on the file a box comes up which says ' to open this file windows needs to know what file created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically or you can select from a list manually.'

so if i search the internet for the file it tells me that its an Excel Spreadsheet file (xls). So what do i do now?? have i got to buy some software just so i can open an e-mail???? :confused:

maybe i'm being really stupid but software is really not my bag. any help would be great thanks!
