So, for MP4: "Final Media Player" "Free File Opener". There is also Real Player, but I consider Real Player more of a virus.

Other options? (I'm on Windows XP home patched up through all current patches)

OK, nevermind, I FINALLY managed to reboot it (I'd not been patient enough.) How the FUCK did she do that?

First five minutes of House of Dark Shadows watched. I know what I've watching next time I travel by plane or train. Thanks!
