I am trying to play videos as well. I have installed VLC as recommended. It did not give me an option to choose it as a default player. When you say select it outside LW, do you mean select VLC or the video file? VLC has no menu or options for me to change. I cannot find this file in my puter except in LW. It is shared. I don't understand why it is not coming up any where. Not my music, not videos, not documents. Nothing. HELP!!!!! I just want to watch some comedy!!!
