I tried setting the default settings, it didn't work. This is a new Gateway
using Vista & Media Player 11. I did not install a new media player. This is
audio as well as video on line, dsl, on a network. It plays downloaded music
just fine.

Running "regsvr32 wmp.dll" will break file associations, of course, so it's
really not recommended that you do that. That is something that you should
only do on Windows XP.
The latter suggestion of Default Programs was what should work when another
application has munged the player's associations.
You should clarify what is happening when you click on media files - what
badness is happening?
