    Trying to watch a vide clip from fam - error 2738

    I'm trying to view a quick little video my little sis sent. It will only open
    on real player though. When I try to play it, it tells me that i need to
    dowload quick time. Which I do, then it tells me that it could not install
    due to error code 2738. What is this and how do I correct it? It's driving me
    mad!

    Ok...I have some info on the
    2738 error but it's for WinXP.
    Maybe someone else will offer
    some ideas.
