hey i couldn't find a section about computer help so i thought i could do it here

how do u set stuff as your defult

see i just download realmedia player

and it took over everything

i want my real media to just open up rm and ram

my window's media for mp3's and wav's and wma's and midi and other song formats

then for music video's my quick time player

i tryed setting my folder option but that only does one folder at a time

also when i press my media button on my keyboard real media pop's up and i want window's media to pop up

can anyone help me

Look for some kind of options/preferences menu in the programs, and in that look for a section on file types. Then just check (or uncheck) all the types you want to open in that player. In WMP it's Tools>Options>File types, it will probably be something similar to that in other programs.

omg thank you for that

do u also know how to do this

well on my keyboard. When u press media button wmp opens and theres buttons that increase sound, pause, play, and stop and so on

now that i download real media player it pops up instead, when i press the media button, do you know how to change it back?

I'm not too familiar with these keyboards, but I assume that there would be some place where you can edit what the keys do... Try going to the control panel and look under the keyboard to see what options you have. You might want to try going to 'set program access and defaults' to see what your default media player is set as.

Thanks for all this help!

ok well i checked the control panel and looked at the keyboard options and thiers nothing about the media

i dunno how to set it as defult
i asked my dad he didn't know
would u like to tell me please
also i would ask my bussniess teach but
she like no nothing
^^^^ i know it's wierd.

If you're using XP just click the start button>all programs>set program access and defaults (should be an icon near the top). Then I think there's 2 or 3 options on part of the screen, if you click on the custom one it should open more options where you choose default browser, media player etc. I could go into more detail in that but I'm not on an XP machine right now... you could always try searching google as well for setting program defaults for XP or another OS.

it may be specific to the keyboard- I know HP provides their own software to set what the buttons on my laptop do... try looking under Programs for something that may do that.

what brand/model of keyboard is it? (it probably has the model number on the back/bottom)
