My safari is being wack, every time I download a .ram file Golive CS to open it, and VLC tries to open all my WM files, how can I change it so they use the correct helper app after they are downloaded?

What "Always Open With" programs are set by default for those files? If they are set wrong, set them correctly...

Wild, never seen that. Whenever I choose "Always Open With" (not just "Open With") it's never failed....

You have any sort of extra Safari stuff/hacks installed?

no it's not, the always open with only changes that file, not all file types
