what has been happening is it all works until i get to where it is downloaded and i try to right click to copy or burn but it wants me to 'open with' and when I try to open it with something i have a limited list of things like 'firefox/explorer/winrar.exe/windows media player etc' if i try to 'open' it with firefox i get a blank page and nothing happens, if i try to open it with winrar i get a red 'x' sign, if i try to open it with anything windows based i get a 'windows genuine notifications' request which is impenetrable as i have learned over the years.Ĭould you perhaps recommend something for me to download that would be an appropriate channel through which i can 'open' the downloaded file? if i can get past that i'm sure it would be smooth sailing. I do have genuine windows but it has apparently been a problem for a lot of people in the past and i tried for a few days last year to fix it with internet advice but it didn't take.ĪNYHoo. I followed you advice to the letter but I think perhaps because my computer is stuck in the loop of 'windows genuine notifications' it is blocking normal pathways. Hey man thanks so much for the reply! I think in a normal world it would work brilliantly but sadly my computer is not living in the normal world. I have blank CDs and a USB all ready to go but what next? Please be gentle with me! (o:

The thing is I really don't know step-by-step what to do next. Step 3: In the left pane, under programs, locate the entry titled Windows Media Player. If that’s the case, click on the Choose defaults for this program option and check the file. This might not be ideal if you already have an audio player that you like. I have saved all my photos and music already so that is sorted. Select SMPlayer from the list and click Set this program as default to associate SMPlayer with all files it can open which includes both audio and video files. I am rather a noob and have never installed anything before, but I would really like to completely replace my Windows XP with Lubuntu.
