rar file means its a compressed file, something like a zip file. first download a software called winrar which is available at this site
http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10571196.html?tag=lst-0-1
go there and download winrar, then click on extract all which will extract all the files including your video file, most probably a .mpg, .mpeg, or .avi or .mov file. double click on the video file and then watch your video.
for more information contact me on my id.
good luck.

A rar file is a compressed folder that can contain files of literally any type. You have to open the folder and extract the file(s) from it before you can watch the file(s)
Download winrar from http://rarlab.com and run it. It will open the folder and let you extract the file(s). Once extracted you will be able to watch it.
The winrar program is shareware, so after 30 days it will start to nag you to pay a fee and register it. If you don't, it will still continue to work - it just nags you every time you start it.

WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format. You may try WinRAR before buy, its trial version is available in downloads.

you need and program to extract the files. RAR isn't built into XP like zip files.
winrar would be a program that does this.
