Frogger(NG) is a commercial, multiformat video player and AmiDog's player is free but supports less formats. Riva is a good mpg player.
 For IM you can check Jabberwocky.

HI and thanx that link worked really well however when its gets the to part where it says

Click on the "MSN Transport" and click the "Register..." button. Then enter your Hotmail username and password as generated from the Hotmail registration process previously.

The msn transport is not in my list is there a place where you can download it from

Many thanx
