Under 10mb email to gadan@iinet.net.au and I'll look at it for you.Failing that, you probably require a codec to run the file.The most common one is DivXGo to divx.com and download the player. Once you have installed it, give it another go.

They are pretty small so should be ( and normally are) no dramas.I will reload DivX and see how we go.ThanksJewels Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21035-issue-with-windows-media-player/#findComment-310176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
