ahah *frown. unfortuantely i know what screen during boot-up you'r etalking about .. and unfortunately that screen only pops up on my computer for about HALF a second before it goes away. ahah so its humanly impossible to be able ot write down any of the info it presents. which REALLY sucks a lot.

On the right hand of the keyboard, between main keys and numeric keypad you'll find the key named

Pause/Break

If you press it, the computer will stop, waiting for an Enter.

The screen with the informations we need is the one...before this one. :) Anyhow, your computer is pretty low on resources (600 MHz CPU, 128 MB of RAM-and video card steals a part of them, probably only 8 MB, that's verry low for the video vard)

You can try using BSplayer v0.86 (you can find a link in BSPeter post "READ THIS FIRST BEFORE POSTING") and maybe ffdshow to decode your movies..

hrmm so yes.. now i installed the older version etc.. but now everytime i try adn open teh file.. the whoel program jsut faisl adn closes....

[Tizio]

But it gives you an error message?
You can try to install DivX 5 decoder, or XviD and enabling support for MP4 playback :?
