Check that the Roxio Media Player hasn't been set as default - try right clicking on the file you want to play and choose 'open with' and select WMP and see if that ehlps

Actually - why not just activate and have done with it?

i am right clicking on the file and selecting open with > wmp. also i cant go through the process b/c im on a proxied lan and dont have access to whatever its trying to connect to.

I don't know because I never had to do that. Product activation was required for the Cineplayer included in 7.5, but that doesn't look anything like the screen I saw to activate the player.
