![]() Hi, I've been using LimeWire for quite a while to download music and have never had any problems. I've just tried downloading video files for the first time...I get the message "completed" but when I go to launch the file nothing happens...I'm new to this.. please don't laugh!!! Appreciate any help, Thanx, Carmie |

![]() LW usually uses your default media player to play video files. However, the WMP isn't very reliable. You could try to use a different media player such as the free VLC player with built-in codecs which can play almost all media files without problems. You can download it from here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ As a side note, to preview files with it you'll have to open the files directly from the Incomplete folder and not via the LW preview function. ![]()
