Calling all tech gurus....this is so frustrating!

Each time I go to c-span I cannot download ANY of the videos.

I receive this message:
Window is busy.
Closing it may cause problems.
Do you want to close?

That's it. Nothing, nada, nil, zilch.

I just click away on the various videos (they can't all be busy).

Any suggestions/solutions greatly appreciate.

2. Help us help you ;)

It's hard to help you without knowing:

what software you're using, specifically
your operating system,
the browser,
the video player,

your standard settings (such what plugin or external program does your browser invoke for the video stream?)

and what you do to invoke the message (I assume by clicking on a link, but you didn't specify)

Given the url of the video, can you open it in another browser, or better yet, with something like curl or wget?

What HTTP response code do you get when you do that? What MIME type is returned?

3. I think I just figured out what has happened.

For some reason my video player is defaulting to Win Amp.

That must be the prob. How do I fix this?

Dell
XP
IE
WinAmp (i think this is the culprit..it's not a video player)
No HTTP response code.
