Default Have you tried this yet?

Hey Randogg,

I was having the same problem for a day or so until I found this quote by "Lord of the Rings":

Many users have several players as a back up. they may also set some of these as defalt to play particular video formats such as mpeg or avi-divx, etc. Here's a player that has in-built codecs & plays almost everything except the odd wmv file: VLC (a free player) & choose the nearest mirror site to there you live. It's not the prettiest player & its controls are rather basic but it's an all in one player that reliably plays most things including dvd's & vcd's. Happy watching!

Try this link found in the forum response path of: Gnutella Forums > Current Gnutella Client Forums > LimeWire (Cross-platform) > Open Discussion > windows media player

I do believe it is about the 3rd or 4th response down the list. There is a link for the 'VLC (a free player)'. Try downloading this and installing it; I found that it solved most of my problems. I also did a search for a "DivX" program and this cleared up some of the poor quality movies that I was downloading. If you can't find this program and need a link let me know.

I hope this is helpful to you.

BTW - If you happen to know of some great places to download good quality movies without getting dumped when at 69% - 88% download (= about 6 hours of download wasted) I would be eternally greatful for the lead.

Thanks.

WR
