Windows Media Player

I can't get Windows Media Player to download onto my PowerBook at all. When I download the installer, it just pops up as a blank document on my desktop and it can't open. Any help??

I don't know how bad you need WMP, but VLC is a real good player, able to play multiple formats.

I too had a problem w/ WMP, except that I already have WMP installed. However, it would not launch when the icon was clicked. It just crashes and gives the option to retry or close. I have deleted WMP and re-downloaded/reinstalled it...still same issue.

I gave up and use VLC. You can download from here:

If you are downloading Windows Media Player you will also need to download Stuffit Expander as Microsoft have used Stuffit to compress the installation file and Tiger now no longer comes with Stuffit.

Once you have expanded the .sit file you can then run the Windows Media Player installer.
