Have you made VLC your default player?

i right clicked on the video I wanted to watch out of my shared file and checked the box that said to use this player for all files if thats what your asking... and so when I choose to watch any file that I have already downloaded that are in my shared folder it goes straight to the VLC player but when I am in limewire and I have a movie half downloaded and choose to preview it, it opens windows media player and then media player tells me that it has to shut down.

You could go directly to your 'incomplete' folder and try to play the file from there. On my computer it's C:\incomplete, but I can't remember if that is the default location.

Dano

my incompletes file isn't where yours is... how can i find it?

If I remember correctly WMP in some of the limewire versions cannot act as the previewer in limewire, that's why I suggest getting the xp codec pac as well....
When you get that sort of message it generally means that there may be some sort of corruption in the file and once fully downloaded can stop access to your shared folder..

By default your incomplete folder is in the same location as your shared...
HDD > Documents and settings > User (your name) > Incomplete Folder...

i downloaded that xp codec pac... it didn't make a difference.. I can only watch the video files once they are complete... as for my incomplete folder, I did find it but everytime I open the incomplete file it says it has to be closed and closes itself.. so it looks like I am just going to have to until each movie is %100 b4 I can view it.. its not that big a deal I've been doing that all along and so far out of 50 movies downloaded only 5 were either crappy copies, wrong movies, or porn..ek.... at least I did just recently learn about bitzi though, I can then check out most of the movies that way anyhow

If it closes by itself then there is definatley a corruption in a file you are still downloading....
