Problem running Revolution Player.exe and Rev Stack on Vista/Dell

You would think it would be associated, but that isn't always the case.

That is why I suggest you make sure the properties are associating 
the Rev file with the Rev Player.

For whatever reason, Vista thinks you are trying to run a media file, 
so it is trying to open it with Windows Media Player.
