    When I downloaded the software for Best Buy's music download service called Music Now,apparently a script or something was imbedded into the downloaded program ,because whenever I open Media Player 9.0,it opens at the Best Buy homepage.Even when I specify that it should open in the media guide mode,which shold be windowsmedia.com ,it still opens at Best Buy's website.

    I've tried everything I know to open Media Guide but to no avail. I'm afraid I will have to go into the registry or something like that to re-word the command lines for the Media Player 9.0 program, but I don't know how to do this,

    Could someone out there tell me what I need to do?

    without me hunting around the registry for a key to change........personally I would first re-install WMP9 as see if it re associates Windowsmedia.com as the default, then possibly we could look in the registry!

    Hey xflat, what is Toni Arts...? Compared to RegSupreme that's somewhat obscure, to say the least.
