Many thanks to those who have donated clips free of charge. 

You will be able to tell who the professionals are :o) 

I now use Windows Media Player 7 which I can recommend to view .mpeg and .avi files, but please check out the minimum specifications before you download it.  It doesn't work with a Pentium 166. It also plays audio cd's and  will become your default cd player and will play visualizations (so you can watch what your music looks like) whilst you listen.  You can also make it your player for mp3 files too if you wish.  It come bundled with Windows ME (but if you have Win98 like me it is downloadable from the Microsoft - just do a search at www.msn.com and it should take you straight to the download page).

All files should open in Windows Media Player automatically, but (just in case I've messed up again) you can download to your computer by right clicking on the mouse button and selecting  'Save Target As' option' and save to hard disk.
