How do I play WMV attachments

I am getting emails with WMV attachments. How do I play them. They download ok but when I "open" them it is gibberish. On my PC it just goes to real player and plays.

intel imac, Mac OS X (10.5.6), New to Apple, long time PC user

The most likely fix would be to use a current WMV player for Mac.
MS does not make one anymore; so the best option may be to
get and use one from Telestream called Flip4Mac WMV. I saw
another place where one could get a plugin, assuming for use
with a browser. The following is the main overview...

Link to the Flip4Mac overview page: (the product is not freeware)

More Info and Download - about the Windows media player:

{For Intel Mac users with BootCamp installations of
Windows XP, etc, the use of Microsoft's player is
still the main option for handling WMV content...}

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
