Search your cache of 'temporary internet files', if you haven't

WinXP, and had to change search parameters to include "hidden" files

My husband is a computer geek who works for Dell Inc. If he can't find it, it's
pretty obscure. We use WinXP Pro on a brand new machine. He's looked
everywhere.

Hey -- me, too! A new Dell, but with WinXP. And I *used* to be a
computer geek. I *knew* the file had to be cached, as when I went back
to the KLRU site, it played straight through instead of d'loading in
5-second chunks. I'm not at all happy with WinXP's 'search' function,
but when I nailed it to the wall and demanded it search *all* files,
incl. hidden ones, and used the search string "*.mov", I found it. And
saved it elsewhere.

Fortunately, someone in our city is sending us a copy on CD in two formats. One
will work on the computer, one on the DVD player. We'll see.

Okay, be patient and when one of them makes their way back here I'll send you
your own copy! They are circulating the globe, literally.

Yes, I did get a copy and I ran two vcrs all weekend and all the copies on VHS
are out somewhere being sent all around to the many people who wanted to see it.
When a duplicate makes its way back, I'll get it out to you.

I wonder why you couldn't view it?

I'll tell my husband. I'm pretty sure he searched this machine like a surgeon
lysing adhesions. Do you like XP? He didn't like it as he thought it was not
as stable as Pro. It was a few hundred dollars more, but he uses this machine
for a lot of work things. We have SEVERAL Dell machines in a network, and
wireless. This room is starting to sound like a cacophony of buzzing!

I can't becasue the current version of QT doesn't work with WIN 95. I
looked for an older version of QT but couldn't find one.

" Do you like XP?" I don't cope well with change. I'd used Win98 for
several years, and had gotten used to it. Am still adjusting, one
"feature" at a time. The main problem now is that I can't *find*
anything. There's also the lack of documentation. Nowhere to look it
up, and figuring out keywords that 'help' understands isn't as good as
a manual with an index, IMHO. noise -- the new machine is a
miracle of silence compared to my previous setup. I *have* noticed,
now the temperature is up in the Computer Pantry, that there's an
audible fan -- perhaps a secondary one kicking in? Whatever makes it
happy. :-)

You will be far happier if you can afford to spend the extra 200 on the XP Pro.
It's MUCH more stable than XP. Take if from a senior support team my husband is
part of.

THANK YOU!!! I finally searched for *.mov and found it, moved it and can play it "at
will". hoo haaa... Ingrid

my DH is using XP after I upgraded his computer. I will upgrade and keep win98. I
really hate change. I am terribly frustrated trying to help him with problems, so he
is really on his own. If I move to a new system, I am moving to Linux Red Hat.

You're welcome. Happy to have helped.

According to recent news item, XP is supposed to be making people
happier about their computers. (While tech help farmed out to
Bangalore is their greatest complaint.) I'm a slow learner, so can't
say yet. Last night I banished the Search Puppy, and felt as if I'd
turned a stray dog into the night alone. And then found that a whole
bunch of other stuff had changed, too. Sigh. Maybe I'll bring the
puppy back.
