Re: [Blind-Computing] a problem with windows media player
Hi, Sampson. I tried opening the oldies station but it said something about a .pls file. How do I get rid of it? If I can get rid of this file, I think I'll have the problem solved. When I hit enter on the listen link, it asked me if I wanted to either save or open the file. I know firefox has a .pls file but when you hit enter on a link in internet explorer, it's supposed to start playing. Thanks for your help.

Over a period of time you tend to install and uninstall third-party Media Players like VLC, GOM, AVS, Power DVD, etc. When you install these third-party software, each of this program take their own file associations as default player. Good ones usually gives you a choice whether to associate all media file extensions to it or not while installing the program.But having said that, not all programs gives you a choice. They automatically take file associations and you end up with messed up file types for your Media playing needs. If you love Windows Media Player and would like to keep file associations with it, go ahead and follow these steps to reset all file associations with Windows Media Player in your Windows 7 PC. 1. Click Start—> All Programs—> Default Programs. 2. In the Default Programs dialog box, click on link “Set your default programs”. 3. In the list of programs, select “Windows Media Player”. 4. Then click on “Set this program as default”. 5. Click on “OK” to save the settings. This will restore all the file associations. Which means all your video and audio files will play with Windows Media Player by default. In Step 4, you have choice to choose selected file type to play as default with Windows Media Player. You need to click on “Choose defaults for this program” and then select file types that you want to associate with Windows Media Player. - Original Message - From: "Rosemarie Chavarria" To: Sent: Monday, November 12, 2012 12:45 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] a problem with windows media player Hello, everyone.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Windows 8 and Jaws
Hi Dwight, RTM, stands for release to manufacturer. Simply put, it is the build of Windows that has been released to computer manufacturers for new computers. Windows 8, does not have a start menu, as in previous versions, , instead it is referred to as the start screen, which does not appear as a list, but is displayed in tiles.
