Is your computer able to open all kinds of files?
It depends on your operating system and the installed software. The operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux) reads most file types by default, some files requires additional programs to decipher the file code type in order to be opened such as codecs to process music and video files so you can view them. In other words, a computer can open any file provided that it can access it. It may not be able to make sense of the file's content though.

When a computer's operating system is down does the computer run very slowly and inefficiently?
No. If the computer's operating system is down then the computer is also down. A computer requires a functional operating system of some kind. If there is no operating system at all, you must install one by booting the system from an operating system installation disc. This, in turn, loads a limited but temporary operating system sufficient to complete the installation. If there is an operating system but it is damaged to the point the computer will not boot at all, you must re-install the operating system. If the system fails to boot due to a driver issue, you must reinstall the faulty driver. A system typically runs very slowly when the chipset driver is not installed. A generic driver will be installed instead, but this often leads to less than optimal performance as certain hardware features will not be available. Indeed, any major driver (graphics, audio, network, fixed-disk, SM bus, etc) that is replaced with a generic driver can lead to reduced performance. Another common cause for reduced performance is incorrect hardware settings in the BIOS setup.
What does device management mean in an operating system?
Device management controls peripheral devices by sending them commands in their own proprietary language. The software routine that knows how to deal with each device is called a "driver," and the OS requires drivers for the peripherals attached to the computer. When a new peripheral is added, that device's driver is installed into the operating system
