Arabian Moon 0 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Try Real player, and if it dont work, realplayer should try and down load an up date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea if I can change it so I can watch it. Anyone here know how to do it? Use this link to download a program that will play .3gp files. Click here for 3GP Player. Or, Use this link to download a program that will convert .3gp files to more recognised file types, like .avi (can be played using Windows Media Player) or.mp4. Click here for 3GP converter. Or the other option is to Google 'VLC player', as said above, which plays virtually any film file type. Cheers, Paul. Edited August 23, 2008 by P.Carter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 As said above, download & install VLC media player. It's free & it plays virtually every format out there. (plus you can do cool things with it, like run your video as desktop wallpaper! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
