wondering why

thanks very much shutting the computer down worked they are all gone now!!

the link you gave me about the codec i went into it and clicked to download it it came up in my folders but when i tried to open it a warning came up:

compressed (zipped) folders warning,
This application may depend on other compressed files in this folder.
For the Application to run properly it is recommended that you first extract all files.

?????? ( this didn't actually appear, just to show how confused i am)

firstly i have no idea what a compressed zipped folder is, or what it means to extract all the files, i know it recommends to do it, but in all honesty you could recommend me to jump off a cliff and i'd proberly do it!!!

Do i extract all, Run or Cancel??

sorry to bother you AGAIN
thanks
samantha.

by the way how's the cat?

A compressed Zip folder just means that there are a number of files placed inside the folder and there all squished in lol...
You usually need WinZip or something like that to open them up and unsquish them...
When you select download, a window will pop up, select the save option, once it's downloaded and saved try the run option, I think that should do it ....I can't remember what I did it was that long ago...

The cat didn't make it, she had such severe injuries she had to be put down, she was 12 years old the poor thing ....Needless to say the dog responsible has been shipped off to a farm, I also told my neighbour that I will be her witness if she wants to take the matter further...
