Is there a way to open my video clips with: Windows Media Player instead of
Real One Player? I know I can click on: File / Open with / Winsdows Media
Player. But I want the clip to open right away with Windows Media Player when
I click on the file. In the Start Menu in: Set Program Access & Defaults, the
"Microsoft Windows Configuration" is chosen, but the video clip files still
open with Real One Player.

Well the two use diffrent file types,one works with WMP,the other real,the
two are'nt interchangable or able to be converted to the other.

If it's a RAM file, then unless you convert it, the only player that will
work is Real. There are a few converters which claim to work..... RM
Converter, EO Video.... but none that I have come across do it very well.

What file type is it?

RealPlayer has an in-my-eyes-evil application that keeps the association
pointing to RealPlayer in some cases. You can turn this off under
RealPlayer's Tools:Preferences:Media Types .
