You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .pages. Files with the file extension .pages can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .pages files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .pages file?
The Apple Pages program is used to create and modify files with the .pages extension. This software from Apple is a word processing application with many page layout features and formatting options, including most functionalities found in popular word processing programs like Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat X. This means users can develop PAGES files with simple blocks of text, diagrams and tables or even images and sections containing other digital data. Users can also develop .pages files from scratch as well as design .pages templates, so they can quickly and easily integrate the same page formatting attributes and formatting options in other PAGES documents. These .pages files offer Microsoft Windows users the ability to view these documents via a preview feature. This is because PAGES files include an optional PDF file that can be included by the user who created the PAGES files. A JPEG file is also included with each PAGES file and is archived in the standard ZIP format, allowing Microsoft Windows and Apple users alike with wider cross compatibility support for their word processing needs.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .pages files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .pages. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
