I have much the same problem with an otherwise OK video player called 'VLC
Media
Player. (Windows XP)
Some videos are better played with windows' own Windows Media Player, but since
the
installation of VLC, it seems utterly impossible to associate ANY media with
WMP, through
the file association process.
The only work-around I found that works for me is to have a short-cut icon for
WMP on my
desktop, and when I want to use it on a particular program, I start WMP, then
find that
program using Windows Explorer ( the singularly most useful Win program I
have), and
drag the file to Windows Media Player..
Which leads logically to the next suggestion I have to offer.
What image program did you install immediately prior to this problem turning
up, and does
the problem go away if you un-install that program?
Good luck. I'll be watching the responses to this with close attention.
