You can play a MPG this way...

' Project > Components > Windows Media Player
 
' Add the control to your form, make it of decent size.
' Then go into code view and add :
 
Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
  
  With MediaPlayer1
     
   .FileName = "c:\blush.mpg"
 
   .Play
 
  End With
 
End Sub
