VLC media player overrided my Windows! Wah! No Sugarmegs!

Post by David Mason »

Sugarmegs.org has 53,000 streaming concerts, all of which I NEED. I updated my VLC player to play some DVD or another, but it's locked out my Windows Media Player somehow and I can't get behind it, or I don't know where on "Control Panel." Heelp!

What is your operating system? usually you can change this in Default Programs in the Control Panel. Just click "Associate A File Type With A Program" and then find your file type for Sugarmegs and change it to your desired program.

I did a systems restore to a few weeks back and then installed the "custom" version of the VLC program. I found out that the VLC buggered a lot of people - it's a freeware program from the Firefox folks and they apparently didn't Beta-test it. All is well... usually the programs that try to take over are the buy-me-NOW type. :lol:
