can't chat, can't play mpg's
 

Can't chat (get the window, no cursor). Can't play d/l mpg. Have latest Quicktime, can play other videos, just not my d/l stuff. It says missing "software component". Sheesh.

why is it limewire's foult that you can't get your movie player working, or that you havent installed needed codecs?

:mad: Why are you so grumpy? I can play other movies, just not the ones I download? If I wanted someone to lecture me I'd call my mother.

Ok, me again. A more constructive approach: Ok, so how do I install needed codecs? (I feel like I'm dealing with the pc tech support at my job...)

Missing software component
 

Hi,
Missing software component means that you have to purchase a seperate component at around $20 to play the mpeg using quicktime. Or you could visit www.videolan.org for a free player that plays almost any file depending on your O.S.

I'm trying not to be tedious, but it's too late for that: i am on a Mac running OS 9, and Videolan's free player is only for OSX. Now what? (thanks for your help)

What version of OS9 do you have?

9.0.4

Sorry the only thing that I can suggest is do a search for "codecs" in these forums. Heres one to start you.
