Did you know 'some' wmv & wma files are licenced, perhaps that's advice. I'm on a mac so I have as little to do with Microsoft & their sneeky licencing as possible. I'm unsubscribing from this one. LW is not a video player. I don't think you read my thread properly anyway.

I'd be happy to be corrected if the person knew a from z. Everytime you launch a file (perhaps excluding mp3 b/c LW can play mp3's), LW connects to the properties of the file & whichever app has been specified to open that file will attempt to open it. This doesn't always work. But I think you'll find it's not LW attempting to play your video files but another app. YOU need to specify how that particular file opens within your os. I'm sure you know how to access a file's properties & specify which app should be the default app to open it. I know how to do it on Windows yet I don't even use windows. yuk microsoft! Yuk! Get away from me!!! Run away, run away! And that gets back to your video app having the appropriate codecs & licence to play that type of file. (Enough, enough, I'm getting butterflies praytell in my ears, eeeeh!)
