Notes about the WAX 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 WAX file type is primarily associated with 'Windows Media' by Microsoft Corporation. This file type is used for WMA Media redirection. Use a text editor to create an .WAX file that contains a single line: the full URL to the .WMA file (e.g., MYAUDIO.WAX contains http://mysite.com/myvideo.wma as its only entry). Use ASCII mode to upload the .WAX file and binary mode to upload the .WMA file. Be certain the server has audio/x-ms-wma as the MIME type for the .WMA file extension and audio/x-ms-wax for the .WAX file extension. You can then link to the .WAX file with the following HTML code: <a href="myaudio.wax" type="audio/x-ms-wax">Play My Audio</a>

Cannot access WAX files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open WAX 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.
