Maybe you shouldn't have used it as a cup holder.

Ok, torrent question.

I downloaded this tv show and it has size and everything, so it's not an empty file. But WM won't play it and Winamp just brings it up but I can't push play. It's really weird...it's about 350 MB which seems to be the right size. Any suggestions?

What is the file type?

Is it the Amazing Race? :lol:

That's how big it is and I'm downloading it right now.

You probably need some codecs. It might be divx if it's an avi. Google "divx" and it should pop right up (might even be divx.com, but I'm not sure and my computer's crawling thanks to my bittorrents so I don't feel like trying to open another window to check :lol:

).

get the ffdshow codec pack. You basically never need any other codecs again after that.

Google ffdshow, it should come up with a download from sourceforge.

There is also pic video by pegasus that give you a nice selection of codecs for avi compression

Henrietta · Post by **Henrietta** » 3/22/2006, 7:34 pm

ah...maybe I will try that. I know I have downloaded it but I think I have reformatted since then.

Nope, it's not Amazing Race, it's two episodes of The OC!

lol i remember the last time i tried to sort this out with you, cass. so, in honour of that memory, i will humbly step aside and let someone else handle it this time.

Henrietta · Post by **Henrietta** » 3/22/2006, 7:43 pm

Haha! Yes...it's all coming back to me now....

I've probably refomatter twice since then. I haven't downloaded any torrents for months and months...

Shoot, I installed it and it still says the file is corrupt or it doesn't play that file type. It never works for me!

Anyone good with Microsoft Word 2003? When I'm editing a document, the comments are now inserted in a viewing pane below the document. Anyone know how to change it back so that the comments are viewed from the right hand side? THanks.

How do you delete your searches from google? Like after you search for something then next time you use google all your searches are in this annoying drop down list. Deleting cookies and temp internet files doesn't get rid of them, so um does anybody know?

i think rusty doesn't want his family to know about his porn searches.
