Hello again Bobbin007,
I use XBMC off of the E: drive. Evox is currently my dash and I run XBMC from there (not converted to dash after I upgraded from XBMP). My music is in a folder on F: (called "Music). Will try a few videos tonight. (My main use is for music and so didn't have any on the harddrive earlier.)
Diontae18,
Thanks for all your help so far. It should have worked, I know... Not having changed BIOSes for a while (a year?) I can't remember what BIOS I am using, but will check tonight. (It's an Xecuter though.)
Nimbles,
I got the file from the sourceforge link you gave me. The few times when it hasn't timed out I have tried the first (download) link on top - this only reloads the page with all the version on it. When clicking the (download) link under Revision 1.135, a save box opens up and it gives itself the filename mplayer.135 (this file is 5,428kb in size).
Will update once I get back within striking distance of my box. (Will give me something to do while the two prez-wannabe's are talking.)
