I have XP, when I receive emails in outlook express, from friends who have Vista, none of the pictures come through. I recently used a flash drive to copy a video from a friends computer to mine, all that comes through is the sound, no picture. Can anyone help me???? 1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi, Are these videos?What format are they in?

They are both videos & pictures. I'm not sure what format they are in. (I'm a little computer illiterate).

The issues surrounding computer video are quite involved. In principle a computer's ability in this area depends more on the codecs installed than on the software used.http://free-codecs.comis a very useful resource.The first thing would be to ask what format the videos are in, then you have some idea what codec you need. If it's DivX (very popular) then there are several decoders for this, ffdshow being a good one.The other approach is to try opening the file in VLC Player. this has built-in support for a wide range of formats, no codecs being needed.http://free-codecs.com/download/VideoLAN.htmYour problem with images in emails not showing may be due to them being remote images, that is, images linked from elsewhere on the Web, as opposed to attached to the email. Most email clients now refuse to load such images because they are a security issue.
