Can't Open Email .wmv file in Attachment
"BigOwl" schreef in bericht ... When I tried that procedure, Windows Media Player said it could not find such an extension and added (.) to the note...not sure what that means. I can open the file if I save it to the desktop or in Windows Explorer, but it still refuses to open as an attachment to an OE 6 email message. I found that I could open the file that I had moved to Windows Explorer. by clicking Window Media Player's Now Playing button, More Options, Network, made sure all Protocol boxes were checked, including one called Use ports 7000-7007 to receive data, then clicked Configure under Streaming proxy settings, clicked on Autodetect proxy settings and closed it out. That helped only the saved file in Windows Explorer. I also check the associations and find the settings are for Media Player. Any suggestions? "Bruce Hagen" wrote: Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose Program. Find and choose a program that works, (WMP), and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open these attachments in the future. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "K-Bob" wrote in message ...

Up until last week I was able to open these kinds of attachments with no problems. Windows Media Player automatically started playing the file when clicking on OPEN. Same with burning CD's, can't do that anymore since last week. WHAT IS GOING ON??? I can view this if I save the attachment to my hard drive, but don't want to have to do that EVERY time I receive one of these. I have Windows XP for an operating system. -- K. Christiansen
