Thanks. After examining error messages, I get the impression that drv33260.dll is one I need. I've been seearching the mplayer site (http://www.mplayerhq.hu), but haven't been finding it. Is it there somewhere? If not, where should I get it? -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Those parts of the system that you can hit with a hammer (not advised) are called Hardware; those program instructions that you can only curse at are called Software."
