Missing something ?

Hi All
My Daughter sent me this link www.watch-movies-az.com ..Movies you can watch on line for free

, I have gone to their site, done what I am meant to do with downloads etc and for some reason it won't play on my lappy, I have had a new hard drive in it recently, so just wondered if I am meant to have something to down load and watch the films . like a '' film driver'' sorry that may not be the correct term for it :oops:

Just wondered if anyone could tell me where I am going wrong here please :oops:

Please be simple with me :wink:

Many Thanks :dance:

Cheers
Roo

Have downloaded this XviD codec

To play XviD videos you first need to install the XviD codec on your computer. To install the XviD codec, simply download the latest version of the codec available for your system and follow the installation instructions:

XviD codec v1.2.2 for Windows (637KB) and its still not working the buffering takes you to half way then stops

works with a few programs i use http://www.vso-software.fr/products/con ... xtodvd.php

and u will need a http://www.bittorrent.com/

Generally you'll need to have the divx codec installed on your computer to watch the films.
You can download it here free of charge http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/codec-pack

Do that then try again

Hi
Have deleted what I had found and I'm downloading Bad Boys suggestion now, do I still need the bit torrent as well please?
Many thanks
Roo

Roo, rather than downloading individual codecs and hoping you get the one you need, your best bet is to download a package of them. Personally I like the KLite pack, which can be found HERE. It installs a whole bunch of different codecs as well as a nice little program to play stuff on.

Roo You do know just deleting a program won't get rid of it yeah :?:

if you want to get rid of them you need to go to your "Set Program Access and Defaults" and do it from there, but often there is still bits of program left and what I do is go into" Program Files" and then delete any leftovers from the old programs.
Hope this helps and good luck with your deleting

You really should only download the specific codecs you need, downloading a large pack of them can cause all sorts of issues, even two you need can conflict, let alone a collection of a dozen or so that you dont need.

for watching stuff online try some of these.

TvShack was the best but it appears to have vanished for good this time.
