.wav files no longer recognized
Hi, Squa190.
Please always mention the Windows version that you are using. And HOW are you setting the default for .wav files? Please tell us, step by step. In Vista/Win7, click Control Panel | Default Programs. Then choose "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program". On the next screen, scroll way down to .wav - between .wab and .wax. It appears in my Win7 Ultimate x64; the Description is Wave Sound; the Current Default is Windows Media Player. Please tell us - in at least this much detail - how you are trying to make this association. RC -- R. C.

.wav files no longer recognized
I am using Vista 64-bit Home Premium .wav is not listed in the default program associate filetype page so I can not set a default. -- Squa190

Hi, Squa190.
Can you browse to a .wav file, right-click on it, and choose to Open with...Windows Media Player? I just noticed that your Subject says "no longer". Did it work before? What happened just before it quit working? RC -- R. C. White, CPA San Marcos, TX Microsoft Windows MVP Windows Live Mail 2009 (14.0.8089.0726) in Win7 Ultimate x64 "Squa190" wrote in message ...

Yes it used to acknowledge wav files with no problem. I am not currently at my computer but will check if media player can open them still. As to what happened, I'm not sure. I had downloaded and installed various audio editors (one at a time, not all at once) in order to find one that suited my needs. At some point my computer just no longer recognized the file format. I used the program manger for adding/removing software each time to uninstall the programs and while I could understand that Windows would no longer recognize which software to use as a default after doing something like this. I do not understand why it doesn't even recognize .wav as a valid file format all together. -- Squa190
