How come I cannot watch films on this (or many other) sites? When I go to view them all I get is this: a white rectangle in the top left corner with a red square, green circle and blue triangle in it. I dont know if anyone knows what I'm talking about, but if anyone does please tell me. There are everal films I really want to see and I dont know why I cant. Do I need to download something?
Any help appreciated.

I assume your talking about the icon that looks like a piece of paper with the rectangle circle and square on it. In general that means the computer knows its a media file but doesnt know how to open it. Do you have quicktime on your computer? If you do is it the latest version (6 I think)?

Download and install the most recent version of QuickTime and peace will come into your world.

i think everyone who ever buys a computer should be forced to memorize that line! it sums it up perfectly

yeah man Windows Media player is ok but it never seems to work for every type of file that its suppossed to. Real Player is just off and increcibly slow. Quicktime is my baby and thank god for it!

Theres a program called "media player classic" that has realplayer and quicktime "alternatives" that you can download for it. Works great for me, plays .ra,.ram,.wmv,.mpg,.avi,.qt etc It has some problems with mp4 though.

I'm on it. Cheers.

Alright it only took nearly two hours but I got quicktime and began watching films. I had no idea this whole time the only reason I couldnt view films was because I needed a program which I could get for FREE!!!
Thanks for the help.
