  • Reference to Woman's Institute.?

    In reading a book by George McDonald Fraser I ran across a reference to W.I., looking it up I find it is a Woman’s Institute. Which I understand is an organization in England and Wales. However, Fraser uses it in a sense that makes me believe that the organization itself is somehow humorous. Can anyone help me out with this?

  • Media Player?

    When I attempt to view video on MSNBC I get a message that I need to install windows media player - I go to the site and download the product - on installation I get a message that this version of windows media technologies is incompatible with this version of windows. This is a new problem I have viewed the videos on MSNBC before without difficult. The video at Youtube or Myspace Video runs fine. I tried versions 9 - 10 - 11 with the same results. I deleted windows media player from my computer and attempted to reinstall - same results.

    I use XP with SP2 and have checked for updates in MS and in browser. Tried delete and reinstall - In response to answer from earlier version of this question I downloaded VLC media player but I cannot get it to auto associate with the IE browser. Keep it simple folks I am an old fart (grin). Objective is to view MSNBC news video.
