Default Need some help...Can't download certain movies

I can download mpegs and that's it. I can't download avi or the WMV files. How do I do it?

Thanks

best thing to do is right click/save as..
Then if Windows Media player wont play them, you need to get the updated codecs. In WMP go to help/check for player updates.

I don't even know if I have Windows Media Player. Can I get it for free anywhere?

Yep.

You can also go to the Windows update page and get the player update if it's available. Heck while you're there get the Windows updates you might need.

www.divx.com
That's a player that I use whenever WMP, Real One, Quicktime, etc. can't play a file I have...
