I solved it. I clicked on WMP in the desktop and got to a screen a few clicks away that asked me which player I wanted as my default player. I clicked WMP and then Apply. I then went to My Documents to see my files become wmv files as I watched. I know what Windows Media Player is and I'm comfortable with it. I have no use for RealPlayer. As far as I'm concerned, it might as well be that herky-jerky quicktime crap.
it bascilly is crap, real was popular back in the day, but today the leaders are Windows Media Player, Winamp (which i use), and itunes.
