Keep in mind I reinstalled Windows and the problem existed. Keep in mind this problem didn't coincide with the installation of SP2.

If you are at all serious in believing that what MetalMilitia is talking about even RELATES to the problem, let alone being the solution to it, then please stick a fork in your mouth and fall down face-first.

If you are just joking, well, still go ahead and die.

I dont suppose you have recently installed a new firewall?
i.e. that could be blocking the port Media player is trying to use.

The only "New" firewall I had was the SP2 one, and turning that off didn't change anything. I don't see why anyone thinks it would be a firewall issue anyway.

Clicking a link for anything besides a video file that needs to open in another program will bring up the download window. I just want the fucking download window to show up for WMP.

When you say "reinstalled Windows", did you actually format your hard drive and reinstall Windows?

Get out of my thread, you retard. You're not contributing ANY useful information, despite what you may try to force yourself to believe.

If I'm being an asshole to someone, it's because that someone thinks they're helping by posting solutions that aren't even relating to the problem, or simply telling me to give up.

To everyone else, I've been grateful for their offerring to help out. But to the rest, I'll tell you to shut the fuck up and ram your head through your monitor.

Militia, he's talking about video files that are ONLY run-from-location deals. In the which case, firefox would not be a solution to his problem.

Currently the only problem to which Firefox IS a solution, coincedentally, is 'IE works too consistantly and is used by too many people. I want some ADVENTURE in my life, and I want to be DIFFERENT. Since I deviate from the norm in my real life when I shop exclusively from Hot Topic, I want to be an internet deviant as well! HOW CAN YOU HELP ME?'

Yeah, Firefox is great. It'll fix my problem by giving me a download window, but then I have it opening whenever I save an image, and I have to manually close it.

Piece of shit.

Now, everyone stop being a bunch of faggots, and provide ACTUAL help. Jesus Christ, you people are worthless.

Ugh. This is what firefox is a sollution to for me. It's not 'IE sucks and I wanna be special'. Most of the good stuff comes from plugins, by the way. You need those to make your firefox good. Otherwise it's like a christmas tree with nothing in it.

- Nuke anything. When I see an image I don't like on a webpage, I press 'NUKE' and it's gone. works with everything. text, banners, porn, ANYTHING. It's fucking brilliant and I'll not hear otherwise from anyone.

- Tabbed browsing, pop up blocking, google search bar. Self-evident, but what the hell. Here I go anyway. I love going "Open this link in a new tab' when pages are loading slow. Then I can have page two load in the background, unintrusive, whilst I read page one.

- Image zooming. I have a screen that has a far higher DPI than a normal screen. This makes it that images tend to be really small on my screen. With a firefox plugin I installed, I can now right click an image and I get a context-sensitive menu that allows me to zoom to 200%, 300%, 400%... couldn't do without it anymore.

- Ad block plugin. No more banners. Simple. Elegant.

- Mouse Gestures. Right click and scroll button motion. (You press right click and use the scroll button to go through a pop-up menu that lists all the pages you've visited. You can go to a page you visited an hour ago with one smooth movement. It's faster than going to the back button. Mouse gestures make everything better.

Crashing has never been an issue for me. Security hasn't either. I hardly ever scan anything, figureing if the virus bites, it bites. I can always reinstall, no biggie. Pop ups are an issue to me, however.

I don't use firefox to be different. I used to love opera. I switched to firefox because opera wouldn't render pages well a long time ago, and I've been using it for over half a year now. It couldn't be better.

So get plugins. Actually USE it instead of checking it out just to try and find some way to discredit it. I get the impression that to use IE and not Firefox would be the action of a person who wants to be different. Because there's no objective reason to still use it.

What else was I gonna say? I forgot. Yeah, okay, some negative points about firefox. It's slow ass hell to start up. I haven't found a good skin to use with it. It uses up shitloads of memory.

But all of those are workeable. And, again dude. GO LOOK AT THE PLUGINS PAGE. BROWSER MANA!

And don't bitch about not getting a proper answer. You sound like a kid. People have given you a sollution. If you don't like it, tough. Sometimes you gotta adapt. You cannot have everything your way. And you cannot be dissing people for trying to help you. I mean... surely you're not so dense as to think that people are suggesting firefox to you as a way to spite you? Don't shoot the pianists. Don't be a child. There. That should be enough. I think I'm on my quota for today.

You said it, AChimp!
* cue canned laughter and cue credits..ehhh... now! *

It has 120dpi and a maximum resolution of 1680x1050. A normal monitor has only 72dpi. It's the lid to my laptop, you see?

Just incase you didn't know, if you click with the scroll wheel on a link it will open in a new tab. saves all that right clicking business.
