| 646287 | 2008-03-04 20:22:00 | Which Media Player is best.? Is there one Player that covers all.? | Pato (2463) | ||

How do I make it my default player. I thought I could do it via Explorer and DVD but perhaps I am having a Senior moment. |

| 646290 | 2008-03-04 21:56:00 | I'd install k-lite codec pack with Windows Media Player. It will play very nearly any media file you can throw at it. During the installation, untick 'install media player classic' and then it will set all the file associations to Windows Media Player. Download here (www.free-codecs.com). |

Thanks. I have Real Player and Windows Media Player on the PC will I have to uninstall Real Player before I install the codec pack.? |
