Hi

further to my previous post, I still have accessible podcaster in my list of
programs for webbie.  I tried running the file from the link given, but
still got the same error message save that this time it pointed to something
in my c drive.

The latest BBC Listen Again iPlayer program - there is now only one -
is now part of the WebbIE installer, which you can get from here:
http://download.webbie.org.uk/WebbIE3-Installer.msi

Just download and run to install. You'll then have a shortcut in Start
Menu, Accessible and WebbIE, called BBC iPlayer Listen Again. That's
it!

Best wishes,
Alasdair
