SYMPTOMS
When you click the File menu to try to save a file in Windows Media Player 7 or 7.1, the Save and Save As commands are missing.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Windows Media Player 7 and 7.1 do not use the Save and Save As commands to save files.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, use any of the following methods:

Method 1
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, right-click the file you want to save, and then click Save As.

Method 2
Configure your computer to use Windows Media Player 6.4 as the default media player:
 * 1) Click Start, click Run, type mplayer2, and then press ENTER.
 * 2) On the View menu, click Options, and then click the Formats tab.
 * 3) Click Select All, and then click OK.

NOTE: If you have saved files that are not recognized by Windows Media Player 7 or 7.1, start Windows Media Player 7 or 7.1, point to Add to Library on the File menu, and then click Add File or Add URL.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
