Thanks for the help. I think I'll wait until the download is complete, I'm still on a modem so it'll be a while. (Sigh! - Charter get off you but and get to my area!) When it's complete I'll go into the file and open it with windows media player. I've done this with other videos I've downloaded that were in realplayer format. If it still doesn't work I'm going to assume the problem is in the file. Because I have several players, I should be fixed on codecs. I checked out the sites mentioned above, but those packs come with addware, and that's not something I want on my comp. So it's wait and see. I'll post the results.
