I also have Windows Media Player as default yet when I play a video from the internet it plays as Real player? Why not Windows Media Player?

Exactly right about the right click. "Run as administrator" is under Properties. Disabling the UAC, as I learned, causes security problems on the internet because for reasons I have no idea about, it disables the Internet \| Protected Mode. Am quite new to Vista, but these are two things I've recently learned. -------------------- Join Bleeping Computer's Team 38444 and help us find cures!
