Is there anyway that you can play the ITUNES videos on a computer that has no internet access????
I bought some videos at ITUNES and have no problem playing them on my desktop computer but I can't play them on my laptop.
I have Quicktime Player installed but there I get an error when I try
to play a video.
I'm using WINDOWS XP with Service Pack 2.

I'm rather upset with ITUNES.
The first video I purchased played fine with the Free version of BS Player
but when I bought 2 more videos they wouldn't play.
I had to use the Quicktime Player and it takes awhile before it plays.
Does it make sense why the first video would play and not other ones????

I finally went to PayPal and generated a multi-use secure card to use at ITUNES.
I downloaded my first video. Its worth it to pay for a video that looks great when blown up to fullscreen and I can even play it using my BS Player!!!!

I emailed PayPal about this problem.
ITUNES is blaming my browser (Firefox) and PayPal for the problem.
They want me to try another browser but I only use Firefox now
because of all the security problems in the past with other browsers.
I would do a PayPal secure card but you don't have the option when
the ITUNES program comes up.

That's what I'm doing but this keeps happening:
To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.

Seems like double post is happening on the web browser, please try it again.

I'm not going to use ITUNES if I can't use PayPal.
I just got another email for their support department and told them that.
I don't know how you setup your payment plan with a credit card. I see that
option when I go through the process at ITUNES but I have no proof that
the info I'm sending is secure. All I see is a logo that says that

I tried doing control userpasswords2 but then when I restarted my computer it wouldn't finish
loading WINDOWS XP and just hung there. When I pushed the button on the computer to
reboot it the stupid LOG ON NAME/PASSWORD screen came up.
What would happen if I uninstall the .NET FRAMEWORK????

I have both 1.1 and 2.0 versions.
I did go to change the Way Users Log on / off to get rid of the Welcome screen but then I
get the Name/Password screen. I don't want either one.
Is there a reason why my Print Master program needs NET FRAMEWORK????

It didn't start happening until I turned on my computer today but I need to know how to get
rid on the LOGON to WINDOWS screen that's starting to popup when I turn on the computer.
I don't have a password just my name and when I click on OK Windows XP Home with Service pack 2
finishes loading. This is annoying and I think this happened because the Print Master program I
installed last night also installed MicroSoft Net Framework.

I'm trying to setup an account at ITunes and had serious problems trying to get an APPLE ID.
I finally got it setup so I have an ID and PASSWORD but now I'm having problems setting
it up so that my payments go through PayPal.
It goes through the whole process fine but when its all done it says its timed out and
to log in again.
That doesn't work and when I bring up the Itunes program again it still wants a
payment option. I'm not about to put a credit card number on the page when all I
see is an icon that says its secure.
Anyone else have a problem????
I'm just trying to find a SAFE place to buy music videos. I don't have an IPOD or
IPHONE. I just want videos to view on my computer (which isn't an APPLE).
I connected support for ITUNES but they only told me to do the same thing that
I have tried over and over.

I have the WINDOWS XP CD and it was in a sealed pack but when I opened it there was a message that says "THE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY LABEL HAS BEEN REMOVED BY YOUR PC MANUFACTURER AND ATTACHED TO YOU PC".
Well, I have got a new case for my computer since then and I don't see that label anywhere.
Does that mean I can't use it????

I actually know where the original WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION CD is.
Its in a box in storage. How hard will it be for me to wipe my hard drive
and install this myself????
I'm worried that I would mess something up.
Also, if I do this am I going to need my drivers for my sound card,video
card and mother board???? They are different from when I first got the computer.
I didn't this need when the tech reinstalled it.

Sorry everyone but this is getting me upset!!!!
I had a tech that did lots of stuff for my computer with no problem then
WINDOWS XP got corrupted (the first time/not this one). He installed
a copy of WINDOWS PROFESSIONAL on top of WINDOWS HOME.
I didn't see any problem at first and didn't know he did this until WINDOWS shutdown
and the other tech saw it.
The new tech has a different copy of the WINDOWS versions and
installs one of them that the customer needs if they no longer have the original CD. He then goes to Microsoft and activates it. I guess Microsoft caught this eventually in one of the updates.
I don't see a problem with me buying a new copy of WINDOWS XP and installing that
so that it would be a truly valid copy of WINDOWS.
I have a 45 day warranty on the repair that was done and it won't cost me anything
to fix this.
I just want someone to clarify that this would work.
I don't really want to call Microsoft and pay them $59 to answer my question.
SORRY AGAIN EVERYONE!!!!

What is the best thing to do then????
Should I buy a new copy of Windows XP
then have the TECH install that????
My computer is over 7 years old and
I no longer have the original WINDOWS XP CD
that came with the computer.
