Somehow everytime I try and double click a .wmv file Graphic Convertere runs and has become the default program to open when I want to play a wmv. Ive done the "get info" (by right clicking on the wmv file) thing and made Windows Media player the default player. WMP then becomes the default for only that wmv file.
How do I set it up so everytime I double click a wmv file WMP opens to play it?
Thanks in advance

Retrace your steps. Only this time in the Get Info panel, click the "Change All" button under "Use this application to open all documents like this".

While you're at it, dump Windows Media Player and get the flip4mac plugin (http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm). Remember, Flip4mac is now the "official" Windows Media Player for the mac. Microsoft distributes it instead of the old application.
