    I'm having trouble viewing attachments to emails that are videos. I have a friend that likes to send funny videos, like commercials from other countries, etc. They are usually .mpg or .wmv files. The problem started when I installed my ATI new video card. The files used to open with Windows Media Player. Now, I think, they are trying to open with ATI's file player, but it doesn't work. I get a message saying, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options Control panel. "
    I don't know what this means nor how to do it. Any suggestions will, as usual, be appreciated.

    In Windows Explorer ....

    Tools > Folder Options > File Types. Scroll down to mpg and see what program is set as the default for such files. If it is not WMP click the Change button and select WMP.
