 |
|
ok, well my download finally finished, but everytime I try to play it(i use windows media player) the same error message comes up-
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
is there a different program i should play it with, or do i need to change the codec? If so, how? Help would be greatly appreciated. |

when you ask if its the xvid, svcd, or divx, do you mean which program am I trying to run it with?
edit: all I know is that its a torrent file and none of my media players can recognize it.

You're trying to open a torrent file in a media player?

why bother with torrents when you have usenet. Get easynews and grabit and you're all set.  |
