Some of our members have indicated they are unable to view the video clips
from the new Documentary Adhesive Arachnoiditis – Fighting Back. These
video clips are sent to the Windows Media Player in “streaming video”, and
if your computer is slow, older, or not set to view streaming video
properly you might see part of the clip, then a pause while the “buffer”
replenishes itself before the video continues.
The following
instructions will assist you to download the film clips to your hard drive
for viewing off-line on, your Windows Media Player (or other Multimedia
software you may have to view video).
Our instructions
suggest you download the clip(s) to your desktop so that you will easily
find them once the downloading is complete. If you are an advanced
computer user, you may want to download them to a folder, or sub-directory
of you own choosing, just as long as you know where to locate them later. |
