Already Downloaded Videos
 

I have downloaded some videos and when I go to launch them, nothing happens. I've tried to open them through the saved files, but that didn't work. I get no error message and the hourglass does not even appear. Are these empty files or do I need to do something special. Thanks in advance.

What media player are you using ??
What is the files format ?? ie. AVI
Also what are the file sizes ??

they are all .mov, I am using wmp and they range in size from 8,000kb to 90,000kb

Just be careful with .mov files...

Try installing the VLC media player, it has all the codecs pre-installed and can play just about all files...
VLC media player - Overview

Get one of these pacs also...
For XP this codec pac is very good
Download XP Codec Pack 2.0.8 - XP Codec Pack is one of the most complete codec pack
Or for Vista this pac
Vista Codec Package v4.4.7 Beta 4a (freeware)

Another tip to try is sticking with avi files and check them with Bitzi before downloading...
