computer question

[team green]

Sorry to bother you all with a computer question, but here goes...I want to make Windows Media Player my preferred software to view video files. How do I do that? Real Player is currently the one that is used. Any help from you computer people would greatly help me, as I am a computer moron. Thanks.

Open the media player, select Tools, options, file types.

I opened the media player, but cannot find "tools" anywhere. ???

Open media player. Go View, Options, Formats, Select All. Then Apply and OK.

That should do it.

Sorry, I have WMP 8.0 and right along the top next to file and view is Tools.

What version are you running?

Thanks for your help. I downloaded the latest version of WMP and figured it out.

I am working on a Master's degree in Behavioral Science (I know, it really isn't a science, but it translates into a nice pay raise). My class is broadcast live on the internet and I was having difficulty viewing it last night. This should solve the problem. Thanks again.
