I've been using Wings My Editor for several yrs..not necessarily for conversions, but there are other features I like to use . This has never happened to me, but just guessing, it sounds like it is set as the 'default' program. Where are you d/loading the designs to? I D/L all mine to a ''downloads'' folder in My Documents. I can then take them to whichever program I want to use for reformatting, resizing, color change, etc. Would be glad to help you if I tho't I could. The best suggestion is to restore your computer to an earlier date --preferably when this was not happening.

Do you have the Wings program on your computer?

Any program that hijacks files and changes them all, I would delete and restore my computer to a previous date. Free or not. I did some searching for discussions on this because I know it's happened to others here, but can't seem to come up with the right combo of words to get an answer.
For less than $100 you can get SewWhat Pro from Sandscomputing that will edit, convert files, etc. Plus famous support.

I think it is the association to the wing program. maybe rescuer will come back to help you with this.

As I do not use that program - I can only guess that translating the "best looking" design (viewed in the program) into the file type the machine reads -- would be the best plan.

.ngs is an extension for the embroidery program Wings.
You can use that program to translate the files into something you can use.

Sometimes a company only puts one design even though it is zipped. We need a little bit more info to be able to help. Can you give us an example. Do you see any files after you unzip?

When I unzip they are all ngs documents, 1 art & 1 v3 or something like that, before it had all the names, hus, pes, jef, etc, so now when I unzip I don't know which one to save, unless I go into wings & save as a pes, Jean, xx
