The blocking might have been caused by your computer security system blocking software calls outward which is a good thing that it does block it.
Hi Lord of the Rings, if you look at my first message on the forum, when I do the download and the file is in my Dowloads folder, there is a big, red cross with a message which says: This download has been blocked by your Security Zone Policy and that was what I was asking about. I do not know what any of that means. I do not know what a Security Zone Policy is. I don't know if I can enable it to allow it to accept the VLC Media Player nor how to find it or do it. But Nothing I do will make it install. I do not know what the repercussions may be if I can every find out what it is and change it. That was my question. I do not know what my Security Zone Policy is and what I can do about making it let me install the VLC Media Player.
What is an mkv file, please? Are they used for movies? How do you know what type of file you have if it doesn't show anywhere?
Regards,
Perregrine
