That all depends on what file format the original file is in. Often torrents are Xvid or Divx. You will need to get a codec or player taht supports whatever file format the film is in. The other problem is sometimes they are in an archive file like Rar format, in which case you will need to uncompress them before playing them. As long as you have thr right codec still!

Yes, if you go to www.free-codecs.com and install one of the codec packs you should be OK.

Need to download a program like Winace or something similar. A rar file is just like the good old ZIP file but split into lots of smaller files (dont ask me why). Google for Winace and download, then use this to decompress and then..........it may actually run without any further codecs, hopefully.

scared but happy
