Sounds like Windows Media player has been associated with those files. Just right click on the file and then click open with and chose program the choose ZT and make sure you click the box tha says always open this type of file and that should fix the problem.

Here are insructions with pics to help you out.

1.Make sure the ZTD file is in the dlupdates folder before you begin.

2.Right click on the ZTD file you want ZT to open you should see a menu like this



3.Click on Open With and you should get this window



4.make sure you check the box I have circled in the pic and click on the Browse button - You should now have this window



5.Navigate to the Microsoft Games folder and click on Microsoft Games folder to highlight it -  click Open and you should now have this pic



6.Click on the Zoo Tycoon folder and click Open - you should now have this pic



7.Now locate the Zoo.exe file and click on it ti highlight it and click open. Your ztgame should start the file should be visable in the proper ZT menu for objects, animals, etc.

if you just get this screen



Scroll down and click on Properties



This window will open



Click on Change - you now have this window again



just follow from step 5 above to change the program

I hope this tutorial has helped
