why won't my asf files run

eutropic · #1 August 6th, 2000

I have downloaded several episodes of the simpsons, family guy etc. Whenever i start to play the shows on windows media player it starts off fine, but then stops like 9 seconds in. I have gotten the files from different people so it can't be that. I do download the complete files too. Any ideas on how I can see the whole shows?

Do you have the latest version of Windows Media Player?

I can't think of any reason they wouldn't play offhand. You may want to try a different media player and see if that works.
