My suggestion would be to download Windows Media Player 7 for avi and asf files. Saves mucking around with dodgy codecs for Quicktime! BTW, if you want to watch divx files, the better method at the moment is Windows Media Player 6.3 with the divx codec to suit. From my knowledge, sound does not work with the current Quicktime codec. > Do you know how to play other formats downloaded from the net with the 'exe' > extension?

They are programs designed for PCs. Even though there might be video contained within them, it is likely that the media player for the video is bundled into the file (or it is a self-extracting archive created by winzip). Seeya Rod!
