I recently downloaded a video off of Limewire, and attempted to preview it several times but it didn't work. So I just got the whole thing thinking it would work when its complete... I tried opening with Winamp and it didn't do anything, So I tried with Windows Media Player and I got some "License Acquisition" thing that popped up that had an option to enter my e-mail and "approval", anyways i typed in some random crap and it gave me , "The Approval code entered was either invalid or had already been used" What the hell is this does anyone know?

It's a drm protected file. I'd just throw it in the recycle bin.

Yep, recycle bin it is, unless you want to pay as much as a Blockbuster rental, and get to watch it once within the next 48 hrs, and then it expires.

Yup, thats what happens when you download DRMed content.When played for the first time it will send you to the MS drm site(usually) and you will need to BUY a license for it. Like the above poster said, junk it its hopeless.
