Just a small query. I send my mate various "funnies" of which some have a wmv attachment. He can open these quite okay, but one I sent the other day was a sho.wmv attachment.

He has replied and said "This one tells me 'unable to download appropriate decompressor' ".

I do not know what a sho.wmv attachment is, but it did open okay on my computer as though it was an ordinary wmv attachment. What would he have to do to open such an attachment. I think his OS is Win 98 SE.

Thanks Smithie
