AVI help!

I downloaded an AVI file which worked fine in Windows media player. I then tried to rename it and I dont know what I've done. When I hover the cursor over it now says "Type: File" instead of "Type: Video Clip". Also when I double click it does not start & I get a message saying Windows cannot open the file & needs to know what program created it. I can still view the file by using an AVI video viewer but would like to know how to change it back so when I double click it opens in Windows Media Player.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Toad,

Sounds like when you renamed the file you may have neglected to include the file type extention; i.e. yourfilename.avi

If you've set up Windows Explorer to not show common file extentions, a renamed file without the extention wouldn't look out of place.

Hope this does the trick

Yup, adding AVI did the trick.

Cheers!
