Simply save it by going to the web page with the movie file in it and right clicking on the movie file and choosing save target as.  You can then either save the file with its default name and then rename it later using windows explorer, or simply change the name in the save as dialog.

You can't make the avi into an exe, but you can incorporate the avi into an exe, so clicking would trigger it to play the avi, but you can just click the avi's icon to do that

It may be missing some codecs. I would download and install is again. It will install over the old version and repair any problems.\n\nYou can get it here - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx\n\nI just checked an AVI on Windows Media Player version 10 on my computer & it played fine.

i am pretty sure WMM can take .Avi videos... if not, just download divx codec, And to convert a .mov to a .avi just search ".avi converter" or ".mov converter"

The closest that I know of is SC Free Video Converter 6.0. This can convert some mpeg files to wmv files. I'm not sure how well it will work, but good luck.\n\nhttp://www.freewarebox.com/free_4370_sc-free-video-converter-download.html

I have done the same thing. What you do is open that movie with the movie maker. click on FILE, SAVE MOVIE FILE, and then this movie saveing wizard comes up. just click on WMV when it asks you for the format. That should be it.

I'm assuming that when you say Windows Media, you mean the video/music files.\n\nOpen Windows Media Player and click Tools/Options/File Types and tick everything in the list.\n\nApply/OK.\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nJust in case you meant the Windows Media Player icon, then that sounds a bit dodgy and you may have some spyware/virus installed (make sure you have a check), but you can restore it back to the Windows Media Player icon...\n\nRight-click the icon and click on 'Properties' and at the bottom, click on the 'Change Icon' button and a window will pop up.  You will need to Browse to:\n\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Windows Media Player&#92;wmplayer.exe\n\nand select the icon.

Use Windows Media Player, it's already setup to play them.  Just double-click the .avi file, and Media Player will start up, and start playing the file.

i cant totally help but I do know that you need to save it as a different format that isnt as big of a file. Such asif its .wmv it may need to be a quicktime file.
