How to Watch an HD Movie Download With Windows XP Professional

HD video is getting more and more popular by the day.

Windows XP is a popular version of the Windows operating system made by Microsoft. HD stands for "high definition." These movies are broadcast with a quality rating of 720p or more. They take longer to download and load, but the quality of these movies is far greater than regular standard definition movies (DVD movies are broadcast at 480p). Playing these movies after they're downloaded is a task that Windows XP is fully capable of without downloading any extra programs.

Things You'll Need

• Computer with Windows XP installed

Instructions

1. Turn on your computer and log into Windows XP.

2. Click on "Start, All Programs, Windows Media Player."

3. Wait for Windows Media Player to launch, then press "CTRL + O" to open a window that will allow you to find your downloaded HD movie.

4. Find your HD movie and double click on it. Windows Media Player will play that movie for you to watch.
