I just got a new XP machine and it has Windows Media Player but when I click
the icon it tries to install and says that it is going to be the default
player for everything. Well, I don't want it to play my mp3 files because I
have a player I'm comfortable with. I try to uncheck the button for mp3 and
it says I have to have administrative privaliges to do that so I signed on
as administrator and went through the install process but when I went back
to my regular username and tried to play a .mpe file (which is the reason I
needed the media player in the first place) it tried to install again and
still wouldn't let me uncheck the mp3 box.
So there are at least two possible solutions to this: 1. find a way to turn
of the mp3 check box for a user without administrator privileges or 2. find
another player for .mpe files.
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks,
Ken
