About the 3GP file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .3GP files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The .3GP (and the closely related 3G2) format was defined for use on 3G mobile phones by the Third Generation Partnership Project. 3GP files are multimedia files that, in turn, contain various types of compressed data. Since its launch in 1998 3GP has become the standard format for transferring audio and video files between 3G enabled phones and the Internet.
