Dmitry Kopnichev

Hello
"Áîëüøà ýíöèêëîïåäèÿ Êèðèëëà è Ìåôîäèÿ DVD 2004", an encyclopedia
(http://www.nmg.ru/rubrs.asp?rubr_id=477&gid=0&page=1) does not play audio.
The audio is in Windows Media format. The Windows Media support is installed
by installing Windows Media Tools 4.1. OS is Windows XP Pro SP2. The
encyclopedia producer says that it could be because of the SP2 for Windows
XP installation. The encyclopedia was for Windows XP originally, without the
SP2. How to make the audio to play?

There are two was to do this...
1. Select the audio file with a right click and select "open
with" and select WMP.
2. Open WMP then Tools/Options File Type tab and check the
files you want WMP to play.

How will I know the needed file name. The files have alphanumeric code
names. The encyclopedia plays the files in its own interface as, for
example, MS Encarta encyclopedia does.

By file extension, open WMP and simply select to play ALL
file types.

I want to play a video in an article in the encyclopedia. The encyclopedia
plays the files in its own interface as, for | example, MS Encarta
encyclopedia does. How will I know the needed video file name, not file
extension, to play by myself?
 
J

Jim Macklin

If you change the default for those files from the program
to WMP, you will possibly cause some problems with using the
encyclopedia program. But have you considered running the
encyclopedia program and looking at the details of what file
is running, perhaps there is an extension and you could try
using "open with" on a trial basis to see if it works.

It is also possible that you could look in the Tools/Options
with the encyclopedia program and find a way to select your
choice of player, this would be the best option. SINCE I do
NOT have your program, I am unable to help or make other
suggestions, except you might try Google. With a well
written question you can often find answers. Try something
like...switch player for (name) program to WMP.

"The default for those files" is WMP. An encyclopedia, for example MS
Encarta, does not "change the default for those files from" WMP. The
encyclopedia does not show "the details of what file is running". There is
not a "choice of player" in the encyclopedia program. What SP2 for Windows
XP changed concerning the Windows Media Audio? The encyclopedia producer
says that it could be because of the SP2 for Windows XP installation.

SP2 would have changed firewall settings if some of the
content is on-line. Check your Windows Security settings.
That is all that SP2 would have changed. You should have
seen a notice that some content was blocked and you probably
just clicked "OK" without reading the details.

The support says that SP2 for Windows XP prevents the audio playback.

evening. How to make the encyclopedia play audio on my Windows XP Pro SP2?
