I have WMP v10 and have d-loaded the bit torrent program. I found my movie
and everything d-loaded fine. When I open the file to play the movie WMP
opens and plays sound, but no video. I also have d-loaded the driver update
for my video, but I'm not sure if that update is applied automatically or if
I have to open something somewhere to start the update. Other than that, I
think everythings is set to what it's supposed to be, or maybe not. Please
HELP!

I wouldn't post up that you had bittorrented a video, unless you are in
Stockholm or the like.

Assuming that is the case, 99% of videos should work, if you install the
free divx codec, and also ac3 filter.

It's probably* DivX video, so you probably need to install the codec
directly from http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/codec/

* About 60% or so of torrents IME are DivX, it'd be interesting to
know the actual figure ;-)

HTH
