Re: W/media play won't open file.wma or file.mp3 hyperlink in Expl

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Zachd,

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately that did not fix my situation.

The problem acts as if there is something wrong with the website, but as I
stated, "With another computer, I have no problem connecting with the website
and particularly the file.wma and file.mp3s:" so I do not know what is going
on?.

My assumption is, "Something happened between the website and the Vista
64-bit computer," when I tried the ftp operation?

Now it also acts, as if, I would delete all the cookies, temp.files,
history, and the cache in the Windows Media Player, the darn thing would
start working. Yet even after doing all of those things, when I click on the
wma.hyperlinks, it says, "it cannot connect to the site or file." Again,
with another computer I have no problem connecting to the wma.hyperlinks.

Kevin,

This sounds like you had a third party player corrupt your file
associations. If you reset them by turning WMP Not as the default and then
As the default using the Default Programs "Set Program Access and Defaults"
tool, does that then fix you up?

Hi: The media player will play wma and mp3 file extensions, but if I click
on
them on my website it says there is a connection problem.

I tested connection on another computer and files to load and play
correctly.

Recent things I have done: I setup a ftp://file console, in turn window
features on. I then downloaded a file from my website, click to play but
media player suggested not to play file so I didn't. Since the wma and
mp3
file extensions hyperlinks quit playing, after I installed the ftp:// file
transfer protocol, I then uninstalled hoping this would fix my problem.
It
didn't! I also ran system restore, but that did not solve the problem
either.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong, such as something checked that
should or shouldn't be, so I suspect there must be a corrupt file.

I was looking for a way just to reinstall the Windows Media Player, but
didn't find one. We uses to be able to do that with Explorer and as well
with cab files.

I think Windows tailored to the officer worker, who prefered a tech to fix
the problem, and forgot about us independant users who by PC because they
are
less expensive than Apples. If we can't find the information we need,
like
we could before, well what a fix.

Thanks,
Kevin
