opening avi or mpeg files via internet

[Daniel]

when downloading a avi, mpeg etc file, i get the dialog box
that pops up that offers me to click on run or save file, but when i click
on run, another dialog box pops up that only offers the save or cancel
options. i cannot just open a file. i have allready checked the box in "file
types" in "folder options" for all the appropiate files. any ideas?

Check to see if your browser's player supports the file-type. Checking the
box in folder options sets associations; it doesn't mean the player has the
codecs, or the ability, to support the format(s).
If WinMediaPlayer, download QuicktimeAlt and RealAlt to get support for
other formats.
