This is the end result of saving it in UNIX format rather in Windows format. What you can do in the interim until the problem is solved, is open it with WordPad or some other word processor. Here's now:

Right-click the file -> click open with... -> if wordpad isn't in the recommended programs list, scroll down into the other programs list to find it and click it. Then click OK.
