Anytime between yesterday and today I must have done something that messed up the file formats. For example, the day before yesterday my AoM movie was in the regular MPG format and launched fine under Media Player 7. But not until recently did I go back to the movie and find that it is now in a different format (different icon look as well). It says it's now an "avi". I launch the movie and it only launches in this real small window, but it get's blury if you stretch it. The only two button tools on it is a "play/pause" and a "stop".

Not only that, I discovered that ALL my old AOE cinimatics turned into this same dinky movie format and none of them open in Windows Media player like it used to before. What did I do to convert it to this format.
The old icon looks like this: An "action!" sign with the number "821" on top of it. It looks like it still belongs to the Windows Media family.
What is going on here?
What can I do it convert it back to it's original format?
I tried the "open with..." option and and selected WM 7 to open it, but it doesn't stay that way, even if I select "Always open this file using this program".
Nothing works!
Help!
