[Ham-Computers] WMV files

[Rolly (W7DGX) & Sandra Goodspeed]

I recently installed Nero 7 on my XP machine. Since then when I receive a file with a .wmv file extension, I cannot play that file from my outlook express email program. I get the error message ::

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel.

 

When I go look in the folder options of the control panel, "Nero 7" is referenced there.

 

If I save the file to the hard drive,  and then click on it, it opens and plays properly in Nero 7.

 

I would appreciate if someone can tell me why this occurs and what I can do to fix it.

 

Thanks in advance.
