Hi Larry, Try the steps below. First the WMV file is a Windows Media Video and needs to be played in Windows Media Player or some other WMV compliant player. You can associate the file in Windows by going to... 1. Go to My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options 2. Shift-Tab to the General Tab, and move right to the File Types Tab 3. Tab once, hit a "W" on your keyboard to jump down in the list to find the WMV entry 4. Tab to get to the Change button which will open a list of programs, find Windows Media Player, Tab to check the box for Always use this program and click Ok. Done. Hope that helps! You can accomplish the same thing by navigating to the actual file, hold your left-shift key while right-clicking the file to select Open With and choose Windows Media Player in the same manner as Step 4 above. Thanks, Hi-Tech Tarheel [email protected] If you do in fact have windows media player installed, then you might need to check if that file extension doesn't maybe have an extra space at the end or something which is stopping windows from recognising it and knowing what to do with it. Alternatively, if you go to the file menu in that message, you can then save the attachment somewhere, and apart from then sort of attempting to check the actual extension using the F2 key when then browsing to it in windows explorer, you can also try something like the context menu, go down to open with... and see what is available there. Stay well Jacob Kruger Hope these steps help. Take care.

It's nothing to do with the drivers; the files has been disassociated in Windows. You'll need to use either Windows Media Player or Winamp to correct this. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: [email protected] MSN: [email protected] Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Yahoo!

Hi folks, Recently when I attempt to open a wmv or mp3 file I get the message that windows needs to go on-line and find out what program created the file. I have both Windows Media Player and WinAmp installed on my machine and I can only assume it is a driver issue. My question is, is there a jaws friendly driver download site? I installed "Driver Detective" and I am not having much luck making it work. I am using Media player 10, WinAmp 5.32, Windows XP Pro and Jaws 9.latest. Any ideas, suggestions or incantations would be greatly appreciated.
