Every time I try and watch a streaming video Windows Media player 6.4 is the one that tries to load.. How can I make it so when I watch a streaming video 8.0 is the one that loads?

I believe that if you Open MP8, go to tools>>options>>formats, and click the Select All button, this makes MP8 your default player.

Or... if you know what kind of streaming media file it is (.asx, .asf, etc..) that MP6.4 is trying to play, you can check that type of file in MP8 and uncheck it in MP6.4... same place... Tools>>options>>formats.
