Have you tried opening them with notepad? or Wordpad?

Ok, this program will let you view .dat files, I just downloaded it and tried it out ... so I really don't know to much about it beyond the fact that: It reads .dat files & is Virus Free

Worked ok on my XP machine and says it works on all versions of Windows you might want to take a look.
