I deleted any association within media player (of course there wasn't an asp one) but that didn't change so I deleted it. But then a message came-up saying it couldn't find Windows media and would try and find another media player which it does and then states that I have to download some more software. Surely *.asp is not a media file?
Using IE6, W98SE

2. Right click the file while holding shift and choose open with
3. select Internet Explorer, always open with this program and click ok

If this still fails perhaps try repairing or reinstalling MS Internet Explorer as it may reassociate. Failing this type another msg here and maybe someone else or myself can make more suggestions
