Ok, friend of mine sent me an .avi this morning of a monster striper
he caught off of Martha's yesterday.

Since I upgraded Quicktime to Quicktime Pro and installed iTunes, I
can't open .avi files. The QT player will open, but it doesn't play
the video. I took another .avi with my cellphone camera and it won't
open or play that either - just a blank screen.

It also won't play in Windows Media. It will open, but the video
won't play. However I do get sound.

WTH? This all started with the upgrade and the new version of iTunes
- avi's used to play just fine and dandy in Windows. QT won't play
mov either.

The other issue is that all .jpgs now open in QT. I can't switch it
back to the Wiindows display.

Any ideas on why that happened?

And how to fix it?

Final comment - Microsoft isn't the Devil, it's Apple.

And before anybody says it, I tried the Set Programs and Access
control and that's not changing squat. I change it, it sets itself
right back to what it was.

Find the file in Windows Explorer, right click, choose 'Open With' ,
select
'Choose Program', select the program you want to open the file, then
click
the little box that says to use it all the time.

Thanks.

I got it.

UR most welcome.


My problem is that I can not get Itunes to download to the laptop. Bought
an Ipod Nano for the wife for b'day. and would be nice if I could burn
CD's
to the Ipod from the laptop as opposed to just the desktop.


I can give no Ipod advice. I'm your basic transistor radio type guy.

Went to the Apple store and the guy burned me a CD with the files. Manual
that comes with the Ipod is about 8 square inches with very little info.
Asked a young lady at the gym how to turn off the unit. She said the apple
store can help you a lot. She was about 18 and stated she did not
understand most of the features.
