video downloads play screensaver I download a video file only to open it to the psychadelic screensaver playing in my player (with the audio of the movie)....I feel like there must be a simple solution but I'm not getting it. Any suggestions please? Thanks - Brownsoup |
That doesn't sound to good...Just to be safe run an AV and Spyware scan... Always check your file sizes and use Bitzi it's a real life saver... This link will tell you how to use Bitzi for checking reveiws about a file before downloading... How to use Bitzi Web Lookup This thread will tell you what to avoid and how to stay safe...

Thanks for the reply. I ran virus & spyware scan...no problems. I recently downloaded LW and my first download I watched - went to Windows media right away. The second video download went to WM but played the screensaver. Since then I have downloaded 15 files with about 5 of the 15 being viewable files - the rest download but show the "warped" screensaver when I click on the file. I upgraded to LW pro in hopes it would resolve but no go. Still open to feedback. Thanks - Sara |
I'm thinking that you don't have the correct codecs to view the movies. Try downloading VLC player and see if you have better luck. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Hope this helps :idea: Dano |
AHHHH still in the damr situation. tried thr Vlc but did not help.... |
Try these codecs there very good....There for xp.... http://www.xpcodecpack.com/ |
You say the screensaver is psychedelic...would you mind watching it instead of the movie? :laugh_2: |
I gave acid up for Lent... |
still no solution...hmmmmmm:Smilywais: |
Open Windows Media Player & look under Now Playing > Vizualizations & make sure that No Vizualizations is selected. This way you will know for sure if it's the player or the video file you downloaded. |
