Notes about the ASX file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The ASX file type is primarily associated with 'Advanced Stream Redirector File' by Microsoft Corporation. Points to an .ASF structured file. Apparently you can also put the Microsoft Advanced Streaming Format into an .ASX file and play it with later versions. A number of different players attempt to capture this extension. There are a number of special MIME types that have been associated with ASX. These include: video/x-ms-asf-plugin (an embedding-only MIME type used to force a v7 scriptable interface), application/x-mplayer2 (an embedding-only MIME type used to force a v6 scriptable interface), and application/vnd.ms-asf (deprecated MIME type used briefly in 1996).

Cannot access ASX files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open ASX files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
