Well the easiest way to do that without losing anything else on your computer would be to uninstal Media Player 10 and go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/alldownloads.aspx\nat the top it you will have to choose the version that you would like to have, and from there you can install media player 9. :) HAVE FUN!\nKayla

In Windows Explorer (or My Computer) find the file and right click on it.  Choose Open. When the window pops up, choose select program from list and click OK.  (If for some reasonyou don't get this window when you click open, then left click the file ONCE to highlight it, hold down the shift key and while it's held down right click the file.  You'll get an options menu and you can select Open With or Open - if Open with is there, choose that and you'll get the list of programs.)  From the list of programs, select whatever you usually open it with (Windows Media Player it sounds like).  Check the checkbox that says Always Use the Selected Program to Open.....blah blah  Then click OK.  It should open in WMP like it used to!

Windows Media Player definitely does support WMV so there might be a problem with your own system. Download VLC player (better than WMP) at http://www.videolan.org/

This is a bit like killing a mosquito with a shotgun, but I sugest you install the K-lite Mega codec pack - it contains basically every codec that exists.  While this is overkill for your problem, it should ensure that you never run into a video or audio file that you can't play.\n\nIt also includes the 'media player classic' - which I find to be vastly superior to the newer versions of media player, but you don't have to use it if you like WMP 11.\n\nJust download the file from the link I included and do the default install.  Reboot, and you should be good to go.

Windows Media Player has a setting called Play Speed settings. To find it, go to View->Enhancements->Play Speed Settings

You can either change the file associations (what they call MIME Type Assignments).  However, I would just re-install Media Player.  It will take over agin and its much easier.

Ok...Right click on the taskbar, and go up to where it says "Toolbars". Then select Windows Media Player. : )

You need to install either Real Player or Windows media player on your PC

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.

go START, PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, ENTERTAINMENT and WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.  Once in the Media Player App, click TOOLS, OPTIONS and then on the FILE TYPES tab.  Click the file types you want Windows Media Player to be associated with.....Quicktime should no longer play your MP3's
