    Video downloads do not / will not default to Windows Media Player.Help


    I recently updated my Realplayer Cloud to Realtimes and it messed up my computer big time. It defaulted all downloads to it and would not let me change that. I uninstalled it and now I can't make my downloads regularly 'Open' with Windows Media Player (it always says 'Browse...')

    Can anyone help me?

    Go to Control Panel> Default Programs and you will be able to choose it.

Hello, I use Windows Media Player 12 as my default player under Windows 7. However, whilst cleaning up my audio library I have found an awful lot of MP3 files that stutter and crackle/pop whilst being played, almost like they're skipping. If I open the folder location for these files and...
