Well, you should be able to chose what applications run in two ways:

* in preferred applications, you can chose stuff like browser, file
manager, mail client etc.
* in the file manager, in a file properties you're able to chose what
application will open what kind of file

Now you would need to provide specific non-working stuff for us to do
anything.
