    This most likely is a file compressed using BZIP. You can download a

    version of BZIP for Windows from here http://www.bzip.org/downloads.html

    but this is a Command Line utility and perhaps not so easy for you to use.

    The similar program 7-Zip, available here http://www.7-zip.org/ might be

    a little more user-friendly. Download the 32-bit version of 7-Zip 4.65.

    Once the file is downloaded, double click on it to install 7-Zip.

    When the 7-Zip file manager opens, navigate to your BZ2 file, select it,

    and click the "Extract" icon.
