Thread: downloading problems

dear sir
I cannot download games or watch videos online What should I do.

1. Dont download games unless they are from a 100% reputable source like www.ubi.com or whatever. I have just fixed a dell for a friend, his son had downloaded games etc and his HDD had more bugs per block than Domestos could have cleaned.

2. Get something like Kaspersky Internet Suite which watches your downloads for you and does not allow this crap through.

3. Watching video's? What is your OS? I have Vista and can watch video's easily downloaded from such as YouTube on either my Media Centre or good old Media Player with no problems. I am not a techie nor pretend to be but do you not need codecs or something to view vid's? On that I am very unsure. I got a small piece of software called Vdownloader which can save any video from YouTube and they load straight into my Video folder for future use.

4. If its home made video's, are they the correct format for viewing? Windows can only view certain formats so maybe you need another piece of software called Fast Video Converter to change formats?

I am not much of a help, but hopefully steer you in a direction for a result.

Hi Vikas.

Could you supply a little more information about your problems with games & Video.

What OS are you using?

What program do you use to watch (Or try to watch Videos)?

What happens when you download a game or video and try to run them (Any error messages etc.)?

The more info you let us have the more we can suggest you try to fix any problems.

I just said that didn't I? I did, didn't I? I did!!
