"Play" button does nothing

If I right click on a downloaded file in the VSO Downloader ver 5.0.1.40 Ultimate and from the drop down box I click "Play", nothing happens. I have never had the "Play" button work in VSO Downloader. Earlier versions of the program would give me a message about not having the proper software installed, which was wrong too, but the new version does nothing. In the manual for the software it does say that clicking "Play" will use the default player. I have Windows 7 - 64 bit with Windows Media Classic video player 64 bit as the default media player for my system, which gets installed with the K-Lite Codec Pack. I can click to "Open Folder" in the downloader software and that takes me to the folder for the file. From there I can double click the file and windows starts Media Player Classic. The files play just fine, it just that the "Play" button does not work in the VSO Downloader software. Any ideas on how I can get this to work? Any registry edits to force this software to link to Media Player Classic when the "Play" button is used? Thanks for any help.

Benjamin, I did the Reset confirmation dialogs as you suggested. The dialog box is now popping back up like it used to and is saying "VSO media player is not installed, would you like to install it now?". So I am back to the problem of the software will not using my installed media player to play the file. The manual for the downloader software says the program will use the system default media player, which in my case is Windows Media Player Classic. Has anyone had this working with another media player besides VSO Media Player? Does it only work with the VSO player and the manual for the software is wrong?
Thanks Benjamin, at least the dialog pop up box is back and I can see the message again.
