It must be registered for media types

Start / Run / MSCONFIG Only thing I can think of is that the Real1 replaced the CDPlayer app? Click on "My Computer" and select the View Menu and Folder Options. Click on the File Type tab and see what it says for the types of "AudioCD" is it registered for. Change the default player from Real1, to "C:\\WINDOWS\\cdplayer.exe /play" without the quotes. The old one may be there and you just have to set the old one to the default. Please let me know if this helps. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."

Well, I got the Windows CD player (w2k) registered as the default player for the AudioCD at the MyComputer level. Problem is, the eject buttons on vearious applications no longer worked. Windows CD player, the ripper program I'm using, right-click->Eject from File Manager ... nothing. It's not a problem, though, because the next time I ejected (manually, had to use the paper-clip-through-the-pinhole trick) and inserted a new one, RealOne reaccquired the association.

I just want the damn thing to not pop up and start playing every time I insert a CD. I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make.

Then the install with careful attention to options in order to not make it the default player of everything. Or you could take a walk in the brisk winter air, collect some icicles and mail 'em to real media with instructions on how to store 'em rectally.

Post #30,717 by drewk 3/4/02 4:29:05 PM Reply	But ... but ... FBOG I did step through all that at installation time. The only things I left it associated with were real RealMedia files. (Oh, and I think I took one of the video formats back from Windows Media Player because I like Real's interface better.) I am positive there was nothing in there about playing audio CD's, and that if there had been I would have left it associated with WinAmp. All this, of course, being entirely beside the stupidity/evilness of having install-time-only options for something this basic. As well as taking it back from what I specifically changed it to. I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make. I can't be a Republican because I like to spend the money I make on drugs and whores.

Like select "AudioCDs" and it should ask you which software you want to be default for you and replace it for you. Could make some serious money. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."
