  • Thinking about it it is hosted by AOL and the do a media player version.

    Make sure your firewall is not blocking it.
  • Have downloaded Quicktime but it is painfully fiddly to use any idea how i can get to view it in media player anyone

    Quicktime
    Click the 700 and you should be alright. - the links above will not work but the site ones will.

    try www.claus.com instead :)
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...
  • This is the link I'm using http://www.noradsanta.org/en/map/index.php it opens in a browser without quicktime (or any other)
  • thanks am having to watch the Quicktime cos the little one going to bed shortly - i daren't mess about with the PC too much cos knowing my luck its just so frustrating
