well wondering yes u did help me out before and i appreciate that very much. this is a whole different situation. i did redownload dvd santa like u said . now it is saying: dvd santa has encountered a problem and must close, sry for the inconvenience. the other message just said it couldnt open that type of file. the thing is: it will work for other movies just not this particular one. i accidentaly put it in network share folder by mistake, was wondering if that had anything to do with iti cant seem to move it from there to my limewire shared.
