That's hilarious :lol: The "pure spring" did not look to "pure" to begin with-- more like a strip-mining sludge pit.
Nice link.

Hmm... everything worked fine when I clicked the link. Perhaps it's the advantage of Mac OS X (or just my luck).
The videos aren'tthat funny.

Tried it again, and same problem. This time I disabled Norton Firewall, still have Norton Antivirus running. I'm using XP Pro with SP 2. After downloading the file, double-clicked the file, M$ player came up and that was the end of my os. I had to reboot again.

Judging from a previous thread that you had issues with some other movie file, I think it is a problem with media player or the codecs. Try VLC Media player portable , it comes with a lot of builtin codecs, and since it is portable you can use it without installing.

If that is what happnes in your case, then I think Wolfpack is right. You dont have the required codecs and windows media players err... is not a very good player and hangs up very easily when some unidentified format is being played. Best go with VLC and you should start kicking some video a**.

I downloaded and installed VLC, exited all programs, opened VLC, selected File --> Open and opened that *.vmw file. Same problem as before, but this time I could hear a few seconds of the commercial
I also downloaded and installed XP Codec Pack 2.0, and it had same results as the others.
Is that *.vmw a video file ? Do I need some sort of video hardware othere than the video card? My system is 2.4 GHz AMD 64-bit motherboard, 1 gig RAM

Dragon, check if you have theese: (I use windows media Player 10)
qasf.dll v10.0.0.3802 (..\System32)

wmadmod.dll v10.0.0.3802 (..\System32)
quartz.dll v6.5.2600.2749 (..\System32)
Gspot told me this.
Also look if you have any YUV codec. (Gspot mentioned something like "MEDIASUBTYPE_YV12")
I have in system32:
huffyuv.dll v2.1.1.1 (Huffyuv lossless video codec)
iyuv_32.dll v5.1.2600.2180 (Intel Indeo(R) Video YUV Codec)
msyuv.dll v5.3.2600.2180 (Microsoft UYVY Video Decompressor)

wmvdmod.dll -- v9.0.0.3250
wmadmod.dll -- v9.0.0.3250
quartz.dll -- v6.5.2600.2749
huffyuv.dll -- do not nave
iyuv_32.dll -- v5.1.2600.2180
msyuv.dll -- v5.3.2600.2180
tsbyuv.dll -- v5.1.2600.0
>>Also look if you have any YUV codec
Nothing like that in c:\windows or subs. I searched for *YV* and *YUV* and only came up w5ith some of the dlls mentioned previously.
I started Windows Media Player to see what version I have. Then I got an Update notice, so am installing it now.
[edit]Installing newest version did not help. Same behavior as before[/edit]
