Newbie: what have I found?

[Futze]

Hi all, Im a senior on the net, have pretty good skills though, but I dont like playing round in the registry
I was having a discussion with my daughter in law over New year about some movies I have downloaded, but I cant play them, it says I havent got the codec, but I do have. She pointed me to daemon and said thats what you need

So i took it down that night, and have come back to read up and find out what the guts is.

Can someone please tell me what this program is for, in language easily grasped :wink:

Thanks so much
