Problem opening dwg file

While opening a dwg file, the Open File Dialog window opens and changes the File Type to Shape File .shx. How can I open this file?

It means the original .dwg file contains a custom shape of some
sort.....could be text, or could be a line style. If you can't obtain the
.shx file from the author, choose PTMARKS.shx which is a "default" you will
find in the drop down list.

did that..still doesn't work. Funny thing is, sometimes, out of frustration, I start clicking all the files. On occasion, it works.
