Hi, I need to add this registry entry to my PC, I found it on another site, how do I do it?

Install Real Alternative (which allows WMP to play RM/RMVB files) and then run a reg hack so that you can see the files in MCE.
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rm]
"PerceivedType"="video"
"Content Type"="video/realmedia"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.rm]
"Runtime"=dword:00000007
"Permissions"=dword:0000000f
"UserApprovedOwning"="yes"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rmvb]
"PerceivedType"="video"
"Content Type"="video/realmedia-VB"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.rmvb]
"Runtime"=dword:00000007
"Permissions"=dword:0000000f
"UserApprovedOwning"="yes"
 
PAste that into notepad save as File Type: All Files

Name it realalt.reg or something


click on the newly created reg file and it will insert into your registry

Oh and First line should be

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

not regedit 4

If the OS is NT based i.e. XP or W2K, the header name doesn't make a difference (either REGEDIT4 or REGEDIT5/Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00), as all NT based OS's recognize both ASCII and Unicode formats. If the OS is Win9x based, then the header name will need to be in a REGEDIT4/ASCII only format.
