Latest Media version downloaded as suggested and first "trial" was successful.
My earlier problems were Quick Time issues, I think .
Ben,
I may have spoken too soon, having enjoyed the first part of the Brian Gay compilation series.
Clicking on the second of the Brian Gay compilation videos prompted the following response:-
You've encountered error message 80040154 while using Windows Media Player. Additional information is not currently available for this error.
On making further attempts to access gallery stuff, i.e. Collin Neeman, down the line" and "Vikki Lake, a silent lesson", I was directed to another part of LBG and then just got frustrated.
Seems that the problem is one related to my antiquated system more than a site issue, as no one else is complaining. I will report again once I have my new PC/set up/operating system W.H.Y. This may be a little way down the line but, meanwhile, don't waste any more time on me.
