About 1week ago my computer stopped playing .asx and .wmv files. I have a
media player on my MSN Space and this is where I noticed it first. It
displays the message " The file you are attempting to play has an extension
that does not match the file format. Playing the file may result in
unexpected behavior." Can anyone help me with this problem....

Windows Media Player plays ASF and ASX files. ASF is a compressed file format
... ASX files are textual command files that manage streaming of ASF files.
Open WMP>tools>options>file types tab>check all listed>Apply>OK>reboot.
