Yo!! Nerds!!
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. |

You can either use the System File Checker utility in Windows Start run cmd, enter, sfc/scannow, enter. That will make sure all the Windows files are correct. Or and Google "avi codecs" and you see any number of places to get an avi codec. John H suggested probably the easiest way to re-associate avi files with Windows Media Player. Like a lot of things in Windows there are several ways to reach the same end result. |

Here's another way, from the help files: To associate a file name extension with a file type Open Folder Options in Control Panel. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Folder Options .. On the File Types tab, click New. Type a new or existing file name extension, and then click Advanced. In Associated File Type, Type or select New to create a file type to associate with the file name extension. -or- Type or select a different file type to associate with the extension. Notes When you type a file extension in the Create New Extension dialog box, the Associated File Type list displays the file type that is associated with that extension. To select New, scroll to the top of the list. For information about how to make modifications to the file type, click Related Topics. To change the program that opens a file, on the File Types tab, under Registered file types, click the file type, and then click Change. |

It's simple. You need to re-do the file associations the newly installed
programs stole. Open Window's Explorer. Drop down the tools menu. Select folder options. Select the "file types" tab. Scroll down to AVI. Highlight it. It will say under the details section Opens with: Yours probably says something other than Windows Media player. Click the change button and associate it with Windows Media Player or whatever program you andt it associated with. Then click OK OK OK as many times as it takes to close all the windows. That should do it for you. Greg "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... Ok, friend of mine sent me an .avi this morning of a monster striper he caught off of Martha's yesterday.

Tom, if you figure it out let me know. I'm suffering the same symptoms on my
notebook after an itunes update. Actually mine was worse as I actually had to do a system restore to avoid a bad memory references after the update. The only way I can open .avi's is to right click and choose open with and select Play With Internet Explorer. I've been busy working on the new boat and haven't been online much. I've had her out on Quinsig a few times and I think I've gotten most of the bugs out... http://www.monkeybutler.com/boat/c65.jpg http://www.monkeybutler.com/boat/c71.jpg http://www.monkeybutler.com/boat/c35.jpg .... but I'm waiting on some parts for the Powerwinch and I still have a few hardware items to fix but I'm hoping to get out on the salt next week. The fishing lesson offer still good? Steve P. "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... Ok, friend of mine sent me an .avi this morning of a monster striper he caught off of Martha's yesterday.

One of my son's friends Dad let me use his Hydra-Sports CC for a couple of days in May - I ran around that whole Charleston Harbor area and had a blast. Then we trailered down to Beaufort/Paris Island area and he took me for a tour of that whole area - Morgan's/Ladies Islands and other places. I can't wait to get further down towards Savannah - I've heard the inshore fishing is spectacular. |

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. -- John H |

We have a lady from Belarus staying with us. She's a chaperone for the 'Children of Chernobyl' program. Today she bought an Ipod to take home to Belarus, one that holds 20 hours of music or video. We offered to take her to the movies, but she's seen everything over there. The CD's are available for about $0.50 each. The quality may not be the best, but they're definitely cheap. -- John H |
