Opening an exe-file.

I need some help opening an exe file from a game.
It is possible but I havent been able to open in so the code is visable.

Can I send the file to someone who's more of a pro? :)
Executables are not the same as 'normal' code. You can't easily take it back to C++; there is no guarantee the code was even originally written in that language anyway.
You need one of these:

It's a long way from simple.
Here are some good resources on the topic: http://de.reddit.com/r/ReverseEngineering/

I suggest this for a disassembler: http://www.hex-rays.com/index.shtml

Like Moschops said, this is far from simple, but at the same time sending it to a "pro" would be EXPENSIVE. It is, at the very least, an interesting hobby for programmers to get into.
