IT Queries: Computer problems answered

my problem is when i try to save movie clips — i usually use windows media player as i can save them— but when i did a general update it changed over to quick time movies when they download and i cannot find were to save the movie clips

What has happened is Quicktime has become your default media player. To fix this, open Quick Time, click Edit, Preferences and Quicktime preferences.

In the Quicktime preferences select File Types and take the tick off MPEG. The next time you try to open an MPG video clip, the computer will ask you what program do you want to use and you can then choose Windows Media Player.

Quicktime caches files in the Temporary Internet Files folder on your computer, depending upon your setup this will be either in C:\Windows or C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Local Settings.

In Vista, the Documents and Settings folder has been renamed Users, but the layout is the same.

If you can find them, it’s a simple matter of copying them to a more accessible location.
