zErO Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 check the properties of ur short cut, and make sure that it is associating it with the wmplayer.exe file. Then go to ur D:/program files/windows media player folder and try clicking the icon in there to see if that one will initials the prog....if so send that one to ur desk top as ur short cut.XP comes with media player 8 so u cant try and install 7.1 as u already have the updated version installedur other problem is give Win ME the boot as it totally sucks:rolleyes: , and go with win 98 or W2K as ur other boot:blueteam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Dragons Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 what happens when you are in XP and try to play an mp3 or wma file?LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunovsky Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 When I try to play mp3 or others multimedia files, Power DVD starts...I have power DVD installed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Dragons Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 Maybe PowerDVD has altered the file associations properties. To do that - find an mp3 file and do the following:Right-click the file you want to open in a different program, and then click Properties. On the General tab, click Change. Click the name of the program in which you want the file to open. Change it to Windows Media Player - should be located in:"D:Program FilesWindows Media Playerwmplayer.exe"Let us know what happensLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunovsky Posted January 31, 2002 Author Share Posted January 31, 2002 I´ve tried that but it didn´t work....I´m thinking that it was an installation problem......I installed XP again a few weeks ago because of some errors that started to appear.....i found out (with a little help from you....) that it was one 128 Mb memory tha it was bad.....I´m starting to thing that this could cause this problem during the instalation....I´ll install XP again and I´ll let you know if it solved the problem...(now that the memory is OK....):cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
