    help - .avi wont associate w/ wmp 12


    I just upgraded to windows 7 and i tried playing an .avi file and when i double-clicked the file it asked to set the default

    I choose WMP 12 and watched the video, but when I double-clicked it again the next day the same pop-up came up.

    I went into properties and set it to other programs which worked when double-clicked but when the default is set to WMP 12 the program continually asks to set the default

    along with this when i open up the set default programs for specific files; .avi isn't even on the list
