WTF, any idea why I can't view MPEGS or any movies? - GoFuckYourself.com

Not sure what's going on. Everytime I try to view a movie posted on GFY it either never opens up or plays.

Any ideas why? Settings?

Do a windows update & accept all the updates.

They recently fucked up Service Pack 1 & it will cause problems with mpegs.

If that doesnt work, do a Windows System Restore & take your computer back a few days.

How's windows updates work with not-so-legitimate versions of XP Pro Corperate? :-|

just make sure that the 'Activation Code' you used to install your warez'd XP software did *not* start w/ the letters "FCKGW"... if so, you will need to do some searching on google and figure out how to change the code... windows update will not perform some (all these days?) upgrades on systems using the FCKGW code, it was an internal leaked code that they had supplied to DELL... and, now its 'the devils own' activation code..!
