File associations

[Fitz]

OS is WinXP Pro w/SP2

I "had" Nero Ultima 6 installed. I installed ADS Tech DVD Xpress, which
comes with Ulead's Movie Factory 3 and Video Studio 7 (Standard Editions).
The video/audio capture worked as advertised. I played back a project using
Nero's Showtime. Since then, the ADS software crashes/freezes (to the point
of having to clear the CMOS). A check of the captured files showed them to
be "Nero Media Files" instead of .UVS (Ulead) files (they were .uvs before I
opened one with Nero). I tried to change the file association, with no luck.
I removed Nero from the computer and the ADS product works fine now.

The problem is that the captured files are still not associated
correctly...there is a Windows Media icon, but the file type is now Nero
Showtime.Files . The second problem is I need to re-install Nero, but not
until I learn how to reassociate the Movie Factory/Video Studio files with
the Ulead file type (UVS).

I realize that this problem involves 3rd party software, but I'm hoping
that the file association problem can be resolved through Windows.

Thanks for any help,

Fitz

Asked before I looked hard enough. Reinstalled Nero, and on install it gave
me the option to associate file types with the program. Selected none. Then
went into Computer Admin (Services) and found that Ulead had added "Burn
Helper" (Automatic, Started), and Nero's InCD had also added a Helper
service, same status. Set both to Manual, Stopped. Video captures, no
crashes (yet). File association is "Movie File.mpeg.
