making media player my default player so I can preview movies
 

Okay, so I downloaded this program called Irfan view so that I could easily resize pictures from my digital camera. So every image that I pull up, pulls up through Irfan View. This is never a problem except when I want to preview a video file I am trying to download. I can get the file to play and hear the sound but not see the pic. Says that it can not find 'vids:mp43' decompressor. Well I dont care about that. I just want to use my windows media player 10 to play my movies. So how do I set it to be my default player?


Thank you!

Might be a codecs issue....
You could try to use a different media player such as the free VLC player with built-in codecs which can play almost all media files without problems. You can download it from here:

As a side note, to preview files with it you'll have to open the files directly from the Incomplete folder and not via the LW preview function.
