Thank you Idunno, this was just what I wanted. Now I dont have that horrible blank icon on any .flv files. And, they play instantly too. Tried your full screen instructions but I wish the program stayed like that instead of having to redo the instructions every time you open it. Great program though, until now I converted every .flv file.

I'm sticking to the Sothink FLV player from SourceTec.It once was part of a SourceTec giveaway ,but it's available for free too.

---Another EDIT---
It seems, our spam filter doesn't like converters and players...

What about these two good old, loyal buddies? Both are open-source, proven and tested.

VLC: open-source multimedia framework, player and server
.
Open Source
Trust your multimedia software and codecs, all VideoLAN projects are free and open source.
* Simple, Powerful and Fast
* Plays everything, Files, Discs and Streams
* No codec packs needed
* Completely Free
* 0 Spyware, Ads or User Tracking
* Media Converter and Streamer
* Windows, Linux, Mac, Unix..."It plays everything!"
The media player that fulfills all your needs. It handles DVDs, (S)VCDs, Audio CDs, web streams, TV cards and much more.
With VLC, there is no need to continually update many different codec packs. VLC comes with nearly every codec built in!
And whats more, VLC can play back your files, even if the media is damaged! Missing or broken pieces wont stop VLC. All the video and audio information that remains can be played.

Hi Robert, Yes, on my laptop I do have the Sothink FLV player, but with our solar power system at the moment I haven't been able to use my laptop and instead am on my daughter's baby laptop. It is so hard to get my fat fingers over the keys and I can't get at my emails easily either. And, her laptop didn't have the Sothink FLV player but honestly I like very much this one. (Will reply to your email soon, all I need is a few sunny days during this NZ summer).
Hi Graylox, I do have VLC, in fact VLC is the only player I use for watching DVDs and I installed it on Kel's laptop too, but I guess that it is not 'associated' with the .flv files that my daughter has downloaded so it doesn't automatically run them when I click on them. This Eltima SWF and FLV player on Kel's laptop now automatically runs them so I'm happy with that. I have never tried the other one you mention.
