ATI MMC has taken over all file types. help....

brjoon1021 · Dec 6, 2005, 08:18 AM

I seem to have figured pretty much everything out except DVD Movies.

I have the DVD drive set to autostart in windows. Right up until I installed the ATI MMC DVD Player, windows popped up the dialog that asked which application I would like to use to play the DVD. Now the ATI player just starts by itself.

I have Tweak UI installed, I have looked in the folder options tab in the control panel, I have accessed the ATI MMC and changed the MPEG association to Windows Media Player (not that I want to watch movies with WMP, but I am trying to force ATI MMC to let go). The issue persists.

I am actually not thrilled with the ATI player's soft and grainy DVD playback. Windows Media Player classic is better and I think that VideoLan is too.

Please help...

Simple.

1. Go to Windows Media Player.
2. Go to Options
3. Find file assosciations.
4. Associate with all the file types.
5. Enjoy

Pisses me off too that it does that by default
