Foxhunting and Kilts

[Hamish]

Archangel, while this explanation makes complete sense to me, I am not sure it is going to be helpful to Ham, based on his professed technical skills, or lack thereof. For ease's sake, Ham, try closing all web browser windows, then open up one explorer window and go to the movie. It is OK to come here first to get the link. The other option is to change to the Firefox browser.

The link above is to download the browser. Then you will just need to double click on the file you downloaded and it will install the software. After the install, double-click on the new Firefox icon on your desktop and go to the movies you want to see.

You know me well, Rob, but not as well as you think! Even your guidelines are beyond me, I'm afraid. I have no idea what "web browser windows" and an "explorer window" are, and as for opening and closing them, well........!

Ham, if this is still beyond your technology comfort level, I will HAVE to schedule a visit! :smile::smile:

Cheers!

I wish you would, Rob! I do know how to defragment my hard disk though and did it just after Easter, and I did help my neighbour to log back on-line yesterday - she's been unable to for several weeks and we found she had 587 E-mails waiting! So I am not a complete ninckenpoop and am always up for learning new tricks!!

Ham,

If you are defragmenting your hard disk, then you are far from a nincompoop! Anyway, I did not realize that you were using AOL (is that allowed in the UK??), but while AOL does shield you from some of the (ahem) intricacies of surfing, it can at times also leave you unable to accomplish your purpose FOR surfing. I'll review my AOL stuff and see if I can come up with a solution.

For reference and knowledge, when you surf using AOL, you are using a "browser", it is just AOL's (and before anybody jumps on, I know that it is a customized version of another browser!). There are other browsers out there, such as Internet Explorer from Micro$oft and Firefox from Mozilla (the people that developed Netscape), and some others, such as Opera, etc.. A browser is just a piece of software that lets you acess internet sites and presents the information to you.

AOL has the advantage for a non-technical user in that it hides all of the "connecting to the Internet stuff" from the user. You click one thing and are off and running (in most cases . However, once you have AOL off and running, you can chose to use any of the other browsers. So if you get daring, or are bored one day, you could chose to double-click AOL to get you to the Internet, then double-click on the Internet Explorer icon, or even the Firefox icon if you have downloaded and installed it.

BTW, I wonder, based on the time of this post, what you are doing up so late on a Friday night surfing the Internet? Go have some fun! The time differnece between here and the UK is 6+ hours I believe, that makes it 2:00AM or thereabouts!
