windows media player (W98)

[fatbastard]

seem to lost the file type that controls files with MOV extention, i tried to create a new file type that
will open and play MOV files, but i dont think i did it
right because wmp only opens it but doesnt play it.
these are the lines that i entred while creating the new file type...

Description:
mov file

associated extention:
mov

content type:
video/mov

actions:
&Open-"C:\PROGRA~1\WINDOW~1 \wmplayer.exe" /Open "%L"
&Play-"C:\PROGRA~1\WINDOW~1 \wmplayer.exe" /Play "%L"

this is what i did,
i created a new file type called "mov file"
in the actions to excute the file i enterd this:

action name: Open
command: "C:\PROGRA~1\WINDOW~1\wmplayer.exe" /Open

action name: Play
command: "C:\PROGRA~1\WINDOW~1\wmplayer.exe" /Play

this seemed to work but your way works too rehakr

Try this :
Open your Windows media player (mplayer2.exe)
Click View&gt;Options&gt;Formats, from the list check the Movie File(MPEG) entry and click Apply, even if it's checked, uncheck it and then recheck, click Apply and OK, that should do it.
