Please help with Cisco IOS being saved as a MPlayer Video File

[bryan.miller1970]

All,

Please excuse my lack of smarts on this but I saved an IOS for G NS3 and it will not save as an "image" file or "bin" file.  Please help.  I have uninstalled the MPlayer programs but still shows up.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Disassociate bin/image files from mplayer through your OS...Otherwise, you can open gns and then point your IOS image to the file and GNS will still open it.

John,  Appreciate the reply but how do you disassociate?

[John Blakley]

What OS?

Win 7

Go to default programs/set default programs/click on Windows Media Player. At the bottom, click "Choose defaults for this program". Find image and bin and deselect them, click save.

Ok, this is a great start.  Within the default programs, gns is not selected under Windows Media Player.  However, the ".bin" extension is associated with "MPlayer Video File"/  I am now trying to associated the ".bin" file with the proper program.  Would that be GNS?

Again, thanks a bunch for the help!

I'm not understanding why you want it associated....

In GNS under Edit/IOS Images and Hypervisors, just select the image file and set your settings. No need to associate it to anything...

John,

You are right, don't need to associate it with anything.  Thanks for the help!  Much appreciated.

No problem
