Hi man.
Install Vlc, then go to your library in L/W, highlight a file you want VLC to be the
Defult of, then in the bottom left corner click on explore.
That brings you to your Download folder.
Now, Right click on file, choose open with, highlight VLC, then tick the box to
always open this type of file with VLC.
Peace.

Ok I tried installing both AVS & VLC and im still having the same problem.

The problem is WMP is trying to open links in Limewire, like the link in the middle of the bar on the bottom of limewire that says upgrade or get pro. Limewire is the only program i have so far that WMP is messing with.

Im not having any trouble playing the files, just trying to go to the info links about Limewire.

Maybe try getting the codecs for WMP, that may stop this from happening, I've actually never heard of this problem before and when I googled it I came up with nothing...

Anyway here's a good codec pac...Cross your fingers this works...

Ok...let's try deleting the preference folder it may help, what that will do is wipe all settings within limewire, but you will have to set up all of your configurations again, but that's not difficult...
Follow the instructions that Lotr has posted here point 2 onwards...

Hmmmm, let's see, try downloading the Beta version and see if that helps...

Did you ever make VLC your default player instead of WMP ??
