Thanks for that birdy,I must have misunderstood other posts that I have seen.

I am using 4.12.6

I don't really wish to change to beta because at a previous update my alphabetical lists of saved files seemed to restart.When I open limewire I need to click on "name" at the top of my video or audio files each time to rearrange the complete list alphabetically.I can not do this in "my received files" and because files are all over the place, it takes too long to find anything.

It seems I just have to put up with Classic Media player as my default and access a file that it won't play directly from VCL.

Once again,thanks for your help and MERRY XMAS.
