Color Bars PLEASE HELP
 

I am downloading a movie...but when i preview it all i get are color bars. What's the problem?...should I keep downloading it?
Please reply soon
Thanks

Probably the file doesn't have enough data yet for you to preview it yet. Or it just might be a virus. Look up the file in Blitzi and see what they have to say about it. If the file is corrupted, Limewire will tell you when its verifing the contents of the file.

Could also be a codec problem. This thread has good info: CODECs list for Movies /Alternate players / Video help forums.

I use the XP Codec Pack 1.3.0 for Windows media player. It seems to work pretty well.

VLC media player is a good one that has the codecs built. You may want to use it as a back up player as it will play most files.

Iron Man ...you wouldn't like to snip down your sig just a little ... Dial up users will be waiting ages to load it and the forums get a little fractious loading large images :):)

Well, sucks for them. :-p
