I have purchased DVD and using this link D:\powerseller_challenge.html to open video tutorials however Explorer couldnt open so was advised to download MF. However I still dont know if tutorial videos work because when I try to open them the browser defaults to Explorer. I dont really want to make Firefox my default browser in case I have problems. Am not particularly confident with ICT.

Switching the Default Browser is done quite easily thru the Windows Control Panel > Add & Remove Programs - in the left column, under Set Program Access & Defaults in an Admin account.

Or you could try right-click on that HTML "page" and use Open With > Firefox.

Thanks very much. Advice from my brother was just to copy and paste the link from Explorer to Firefox. It worked but needed to download a plug-in. Did this but message was 'no suitable plug-ins found' and had to search manually. Managed to find one manually but there was warning attached that it was executable file (http://aihdownload.adobe.com/bin/install_flashplayer10_chrd_aih.exe) and could contain viruses. Didnt think it could be so hard to open a video!!!
