I'm at my wits end, and as it was the remix.kwed.org site where I first noticed this happening, I'm going to post the info here in the hope that someone can help me, even though it's prob off topic.
:-/
My IE is changing .mp3 to .mpeg when downloading .mp3's off the remix.kwed.org, or any other site. Why I have no idea, and it's driving me nuts now as I have tried EVERYTHING short of formating, and I refuse to format Windows AGAIN to fix one tiny silly problem AGAIN!
HELP!<G>
Basically I right click 'save target as' any .mp3 file and when that IE download pop up dialogue thingy comes up, the file is the same except for the extension which IE has changed to .mpeg
How can this happen? Am I cursed or what?
Any ideas anyone?
Ok who broke my IE!?
Re: Ok who broke my IE!?
Not installed Real Player recently, have you? That's the cause of that sort of thing. What you can do though is change the default behaviour for file extensions (Tools/Folder Options and then File Types within a Windows Explorer window). Delete anything to do with mpeg and next time it should ask you (hopefully).Hacky wrote:My IE is changing .mp3 to .mpeg when downloading .mp3's off the remix.kwed.org, or any other site.
RealOnePlayer is notorious for changing mp3 file extensions. I hate it!
Alternative: use Mozilla Firefox. It wees all over IE from a height and actually has features people want:
* pop up blocking by default
* smooth web-standards compliant browsing
* customisable, too. I use the pinball theme.
* small download and memory size
etc etc.
Oh, and sidplug works with it! :)
