Trouble sending video clip to another AOL member.

[RottieGrrrl]

There is this really cool video I found called "Pianoman" It's of this male stripper playing a makeshift piano with his really huge, er, piano stick.

I tried sending it to my cousin as an attatchment (we both have aol) and after he downloaded it, he got this error message."Windows cannot find realplay.exe."

I don't understand that cause we both have AOL it shouldn't be a problem. Here is the page I got it from, btw ..Pianoman

Anybody know if there is some reason he can't get this file? I know he wants to send it to some lady-friends of his. Probably to tell them that was him 25 years ago.

Rottsyvampi -

He probably just needs to download or update RealPlayer.

[RottieGrrrl]

Okay Steve I'll let him know. Thanks.

Actually the file is an mpeg file.

Your cousin may have his associations set for RealPlayer to play the mpeg files. He can change it to be played in the windows media player.

Or even more simply, just have him save the file to his computer, then start up Windoze Media Player, and open that file from Windoze Media Player.

Thanks Paw and Steve. He told me he got really drunk one night and deleted a bunch of stuff from his computer. Now you can see why he's my favorite cousin. Were so much alike

Anyway I sent him the link to download Realplayer so we shall see how that works. If it doesn't I will take your advice and work with him from there. The blind leading the blind LOL.

I thought you had to install Windows media player too?

Depending on how old or new his puter is, it usually comes installed with the operating system.

[RottieGrrrl]

oh okay, Well as you can see him and me are quite stupid about this stuff. But if we put our noggins together we'll have, well, a few brain cells left betweeen us.

So I'll wait for word on him to see whats happening. Thanks!

Realplayer is utter dange too, so you may want him to update Windows Media Player and be done with it.

[RottieGrrrl]

Maybe I should do that too then. I'm going to look into that. thanks.
