Hello again Lord of the rings,
(I've just typed up a reply to your last post and I swear I sent it, but musn't have, sorry if it turns up somewhere.... )

Anyway thanks for the tip on configuring LW, worked a treat. Managed to download a movie in about 6 hrs.

Thing is I couldn't play it cos of missing codecs (I know....lol....look on the forum) I did look on the forum and also used web help when I got the msg about codecs. In fact I've been to that many places I can't remember where I got Divx codec v5.2 from (this enabled me to get a picture but still no sound) now though I'm not getting the codec error msg so I'm not getting the web help. The movie was an avi thingy so could u gis a clue as to what codec may be missing??

Many thanks again,
Lindy xx
