Open Internet Explorer or Firefox (whichever you use), and make sure it's set as your default browser when you're prompted to.

There is an option for Windows Media Player which let's you choose your media browser. Change it back to Internet Explorer or whichever program you used to have.

Just open (or close and restart) up whichever browser you're using right now, and approve it as your default browser when the prompt comes up. You could also try what Fragment suggested if this doesn't work, although I'm not sure where to find such an option since it's not available in my version of WMP.

well the thing is the prompt doesnt even come up for my IE or Opera and somehow the aol explorer has been set as my default browser, is there any way to go into my control pannel and change it?

For IE, it should be under Tools --> Internet Options --> Programs, and check "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser". I'm not sure about Opera, but if you're just looking to get rid of AOL Explorer, setting IE as default should do the trick.
