Idiot can't access clips

First let me say you are talking to the biggest numbskull alive when it comes to computers, that would include the lanuage.

I have tried everything to view the clips with no luck. I'm using netscape 4.7

When I try to click on the clip, it appears to be downloading, but when it is finished a window comes up that says media and gives me a choice of tons of different computerized music.

Tony, thanks for your time, however, I clicked on the link, hit download, seemed like everything was going ok. Went to install, double clicked, again everything seemed to be alright. Came back clicked on the link and had a choice of computerized classical music.

Gilbert,
I just tried playing the clips Netscape Navigator 4.08.
They came up and played fine with Mediaplayer.
My question is a simpe one.
After you instaled Mediaplayer,came back to the site and clicked on the video clips what came up?
Windows Media player or Real Audio or something else?
What your describing sounds like Real Audio.
Cheers,
Chuck

p.s.
Tony it sounds like a file type mix up.
Real Audio will try to handle .asf and pops up that Real Player with all the channels down the side and it takes a while to load .asf files if it can at all.

I CAN SEE....I CAN SEE...SWEET GOD ALMIGHTY, I CAN SEE. The view, options, formats thing-a-ma-bobby did it, thanks to all. Have to run now, will be spending the rest of the day catching up on the clips. Thanks again.

Tony,

Is the new directory set up for the clips yet?

No problem Tony-san,
I' figured it was a file type mix up. Real Player just can't handle .asf for some reason. I'm no fan of Real Audio period Causes IE to crash everyother time.
Cheers,
