For file associations. Maybe it looks like Winamps file association icon because VLC doesn't have one... But it sounds like other then the icon, everything is working the way you want. Just a guess*_*

Does VLC have a icon for folders, or is it using a default one (winamps)?

Try setting them to Windows Media Player and see if the icons change. Reinstalling Winamp might be the only thing left that I can think of.

JDoors. Someday we'll have to get together and trade stories about working in casinos.. I spent 20 years working in a underground gold mine and thought I had seen everything. But when they shut it down and I started working in a casino. I couldn't believe the things I have seen. Gamblers.... Now they are a ........strange group of people. Will put hundreds of dollars in a slot machine. Put if it shorts them one nickel.... Boy-o-boy.

Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) For all versions of Vista You can use the Bootrec.exetool in the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot and repair the following items in Windows Vista: • A master boot record (MBR) • A boot sector • A Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store Note When you are troubleshooting startup issues by using the Windows RE, you should first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If the Startup Repair option does not resolve the issue, or if you must troubleshoot more steps manually, use the Bootrec.exe to

Well at least they are working for the program you want. Try setting the File Associations to WMP and see if the icons change and hold. Might be a small glitch. NO WAIT.... Windows develop small glitches.... No, not Windows......*_*

Your replacing the i386 directory in XP Is basically what your doing here. Kinda the main part of the system.

I believe you could be right. Read this post. Reinstall Windows Xp In Unattended Mode Your replacing the i386 directory in XP. I have mostly OEM disks that I use. I never use the restore disk that have come with a PC. To much other stuff to put up with. And never had driver issues.

Ahhhhh... New Tires. Now you can never go wrong there. The smell of fresh new tires on a hot day. Glad your getting everything back into order.

Good going so far. The rest is downhill now.

LOL... I already use WinAmp as my main player. I just don't run the agents. I do like it tho. Listen to the winamps radio all the time. Love the MX Radio stations.

I had a problem with Winamp doing that. I wondered if it was along those lines.. Turn off or disable the "Winamp Agent" after doing what our good old friend Sultan_emerr suggests.

Try this. Before you burn it to a DVD. Defrag the video file. See if it help. I sometimes have had the same sounding problem. And that helped for me.

You never did said what old program is taking control. Is it set to autostart with windows? Check to see if it's in the startup group. Try disabling the old program from starting with the system.

It could be taking control and making the system switch everything back over to it because it's telling the system that it has first dibs on things.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under
