Hi Support Team.

I have just started uploading wmv files to my gallery and when to select the item and click "download movie" the browsers automatically opens windows media player and start buffering the video.

Is there an option to stop this from happening?

I have also tried to upload the same video as a .zip file but the gallery system seems to extract the file and links directly to the .wmv file instead of .zip, which then I have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Lee.

Yes, but I going to have more then 600 sales people accessing this gallery... not all of them computer savy.

Just trying to make it foul proof.

Personally I'd use flash video so you could simply display it for them, and also offer a download button on the player like these.
