Then select Windows Media Player and tick the box that says "Always use this select program to open this kind of file" |

| 351444 | 2005-05-02 13:34:00 | I'll assume it's Media Player Classic. It's usually bundled with codec packs and is a single executable. It's not exactly installed since it's a single executable, but it does make some entries in the registry ([HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Gabest] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Gabest]). The file you want to look for is mplayerc.exe. You might find it with the Windows search function. I'd recommend keeping it since it's only 4 MB's and a great slim media player (its my default). If MPC doesnt play certain files, then WMP won't either because WMP uses the same codecs that MPC would. |

| 351446 | 2005-05-02 20:49:00 | Looks like this. i3.photobucket.com Using my microscopic vision, that player is not "Media Player Classic", it is the normal Windows Media Player viewed in skin mode. So the MPC is a red herring in this case. |

| 351447 | 2005-05-02 22:46:00 | Good point. What is the file you are trying to view Cicero? I think I have a major prob here Rob. I used one of those reg cleaners and accidental deleted what I shouldn't,so now have corrupt files all over the place. So a reformat has become the only way out. Trying to remember what I have to do,only done it once b4,for the same reason,will I ever learn? Thank you all,Terry you need a new microscope,I will agree image was pathetic. |

| 351448 | 2005-05-02 23:35:00 | will I ever learn?Hmmmm... better not answer. You just have to track down all your files you want saved and burn them to a disc. Put your windows CD in and follow the prompts. |

| 351450 | 2005-05-03 00:08:00 | Make sure you have a copy of your drivers on hand before you start,and your install key. Also pays to make a note of your dialup settings if your on that system, I always fire up outlook express and export all the accounts and the Address book, makes putting that data back in much quicker. |

Thanks Met,all noted. Just hope I have all drivers required. I tend to find out the hard way. ;) |

| 351452 | 2005-05-03 00:34:00 | I would take the oputunity to download all the latest drivers for your hardware if I was you. Nothing as crisp as a brand new install with the latest drivers. |
