Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
One hundred years from now it won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little better because, I was important in the life of a child.

video Lan is a good player. Plays just about every format of video the downside is it's a bit of a basic look but you can download skins for it but i have never really found a decent one
But the most important thing is it plays beautifully with some really good features0 -
Part of the install checks for a valid windows install if the user doesnt have a legit copy of windows they they shouldnt be using windows never mind taking the !!!! and wanting to use media player.0

Erm, it's not a legit copy of windows. It was on the PC when I bought it around 6 months ago and I cannot open the video clip emails.
When I try, it takes me to the validation section of Microsoft that confirms I may be operating with counterfeit software.
So, I'm after something that I can download to view such clips.
