I have several videos I've downloaded using Firefox Ant Video Player (beyond that, I'm not entertaining any questions...ha-ha!) and everything worked fine up to about two weeks ago when, according to my Restore feature, the only thing that changed was a "crucial" Windows update (I'd love to "crucial" their...keep it clean, John) and now I can't access my videos (let's call them educational and/or entertainment) and in fact I don't see the little "thingy", which I'm calling a "TAB" because it was more technical sounding than "thingy" (I'm 60...leave me alone!) where you use to click some icon off to the right and a drop-down menu appeared offering the ability to access the player which would then display a list of all the educational and entertainment videos that have been downloaded. I hope this doesn't terribly stupid because I am not a stupid person...my bottom line is why can't I play my videos on my Ant Video Player, and if I can, where is it?

Thank you to all of you who responded...believe it or not, i've had to adopt a hybrid solution that includes all three responses to varying degrees. i did contact ant as you suggested, and they acknowledged the problem although they could not duplicate it, but are aware of it. they also suggested, as one of you did, to go to my "preferences" and change the default directory. That worked to get new videos but still i could not get into my old ones because it would not allow me to copy them into the "new directory" en masse. However, it does allow me to copy them in smaller batches...maybe it's a size issue...I don't know...I'm an old man and i've learned many things in life and one of them is, "if it works, go with it"! Thank you all again.
