    Check that the exe file is 12,375,570 bytes, and try running it by right clicking the exe file and select open.

    Which OS are you using ?

      I'm runnung Win98. If you are using windows this should be the same. Can you goto Start-Settings-Folder Options-File Types- Scroll down to and highlight the PHP file icon and tell me what the "Content Type (Mime):"and what the "Opens with:" settings show?

        That is completly and utterly irrelevant. On a desktop system that setting should always be empty. The .exe file is not a PHP file it's an excutable.

          I asked only because altering the settings for the PHP file type was the only way I could get any kind of response from clicking or double clicking right or left on the file. It may have the ".exe" extension on the file name but it is still listed as a "PHP" file under "file type". Thats the way it was downloaded.

            OK that not supposed to happen.
            Once again please check that the file has the proper size.
            And try renaming the file to something other than *.exe and change it back again.

                Ahhh I just got back from work, and have had a chance to retry the download with Netscape7. For some reason Netscape wants to name the file *.exe.php.

                Which of course is why Windows detects it as a php file. Your windows explorerwindow is most likely setup to hide file extensions , which is why you cant see the .php part. Disable this in the explorer options or use a file browser that displays the full file name. And remove the .php part of the filename.
                Or just redo the download, and remove the .php part of the file name when you save the file.

                    FYI - Just to post a final outcome....After all the trouble downloading the Tsunami Filter Pack it didn't fix the problem.....I finally downloaded the WMPlayer 6.4 and DivXG400.2 7 and DivXG400.0 5 and the play was right side up. I then reloaded the WMPlayer 7.1 and the play remained right side up......Thanks all for your help...
