what's the format of the file downloaded?

if it's .avi, then you'll need the proper video codecs. if it's something like .7zip or .rar, you'll need WinRAR to decompress first.

:rofl: Its a video file already. Since the thumbnail(20th century icon) is showing, you should just be able to double click it and watch it with whatever video player you have.
If not...

VLC will play almost all video types.

Click Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Untic 'Hide Known File Extensions' -> Okay

Tell us what the file type is, then tic Hide Known File Extensions.

Grab a program called gspot it will tell you what video codec you need installed.
