my limewire all of a sudden stop playing ALL my video files, but the rest of the files like audio, are still working...can anybody suggest how to fix said problem??

I don't know what's happend but might I suggest/recommend changing players to VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site) as VLC has in-built codecs & is generally very reliable. You can also use it for streaming audio & video & change skins & play many audio formats. To see what it can do see http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html

To make it your default player (if it doesn't ask after you install it) see Setting Default video app If it's your default video player then it will open when you wish to launch or preview video files from LW.

I am trying to play videos as well. I have installed VLC as recommended. It did not give me an option to choose it as a default player. When you say select it outside LW, do you mean select VLC or the video file? VLC has no menu or options for me to change. I cannot find this file in my puter except in LW. It is shared. I don't understand why it is not coming up any where. Not my music, not videos, not documents. Nothing. HELP!!!!! I just want to watch some comedy!!!

Setting Default video app (click on link)

Go to LW 's library window, select the folder the video file is in & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you. Then you can move it or find its location & direct VLC to that location. See if it plays. If VLC cannot play it then I'd suspect the video might have a problem. But you did say more than one video file. What format are they? (avi, mpeg, wmv, etc.)
It may be a system issue with default for video files has become mucked up.

Thanks a million. You are a sanity saver. Have a great night. I am off to Comedy Central.
