Mike_Wilson Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 that method should work if your doing it correctly.Try re-installing Windows Media Player 10, just install it over the top it should reset your extensions for media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durex Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I had this exact same problem after installing the Kazaa-Lite codec pack on my laptop, which associates video files with Media Player Classic. Every time Id double click a vid file it would bring up that open with box... even after checking 'always open with this file type' and even after checking the file types menu and ensuring thats what it was associated with.I never did find a solution to this though.. which of course doesnt help you at all. Perhaps try reinstalling the codec pack? Or if the XP Codec pack also includes Media Player Classic (not familiar with that pack), locate the path where its installed and run 'mplayerc.exe /unregvid'.Post up if your results!
