All programs open to Windows Media Player!

Tried to download recordings of the Zoom recorder via USB.  Songs downloaded from my music library, but now I can't open the file.  Repetitions of Windows Media Player "problem when downloading" message.  Windows Media Player icon is present on ALL programs.  I can't open any program as they are all "locked" in Windows Media Player.  Help!

Hi Richard,

If you can access the internet somehow, if you are using Vista, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll to the EXE and click or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations. Once done, do the same for LNK entry. That should restore your programs. If you are using Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html . If you are using XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm.

If you are unable to access the internet, download files to a flash drive on a good PC, load the files on the bad PC desktop and run them.  Then restart.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Kosh
