I got a new Dell computer and when I click on link I cannot watch the clip.
Instead I get the following message:

File Download

Do you want to save this file?

Name: file.mpeg
Type: Movie Clip 1MB
From: WWW.website.com

The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default Program. It is
either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution,
it is recommended that you cancel the download.

Error #1. You bought a Dell for a song and it can't dance! I believe the
file your are trying to play is a "Quicktime" file. Go to
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone/
