I have tried to download one of the messages from the IA. My computer says it downloaded successfully, but when I click on it to play I get nothing but a black screen on media player. What did I do wrong?

Mavis, How long did it take to download.

I am on High Speed Internet and it is taking 30-60 min to download each session. One of them was over 700 meg in size.

If it took just a few min then I suspect you have a corrupt file.

If it took a long time then I would look at the version of Media Player you have.

I believe they say you need Media Player 9 or 11 depending on the OS you have.

also try fast forwarding. skip to aobut 10 or 15 min into the video and see what happens.

Thanks, Billy. I fast-forwarded and it is working fine. Now how can I burn it to a CD? And what kind of CD do I need - anything special? We are wanting to use part of it in Sunday School next week. These messages have been just exactly what I have been teaching the last few weeks. It's amazing how God works!!!!!! And I won't be there next week so I thought it would be easy for my substitute to play the last part of Bro. Endicott's message for class. Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it.

I use the new RealPlayer. It downloads pretty quick and I have had no problem on playback.

Thank you for the help so far. Now my media player says "It is not possible to burn this list of files because all of the files have errors or are missing burn rights." Any further help? Thanks.

What software are you using to burn CD.

If you have WinXP just try going into MyComputer and copy the file to the CD burner drive and let it burn the cd.

Penny instead of clicking the arrow with your left mouse button. click it with the right mouse button.

You wil then be given a menu box click on the SAVE TARGET AS choice
It will then let you download and save in a folder on your local computer.
