Windows Media Player

If it's a PC version of Windows media player, you can't install that on a mac.

Windows media support is provided by a plugin called Flip4Mac. If you have a non intel mac then you can download and install it. If you have an intel mac then you have to wait for the universal version which is due shortly or blag a copy of the beta from someone.

If you are trying to install Windows media player 9 for the mac - which will run on an intel mac under Rosetta even though it is old - then you might have a .sit or .sitx file which requires Stuffit Expander to expand. Try www.stuffit.com and download the latest version. then you can unstuff the package and install Windows Media Player 9.

VLC for mac will also do the same job so you might want to do a search for that.

Hope that helps

so your saying a mac isn't a personal computer 🙂

And be carefull its not easy to get rid of the Media Player from MS if its on your machine.

I installed it to try and then fought 2 hours to get rid of it.
You can drag it in the trahs, but cant empty the trash afterwards, as it says the Mediaplayer is locked.

Had to resort to logging in as root, and manually deleting the files from the .trash folder of the user directory via the shell.

So save yourself the troubles and stay away from it.

VLC works, but it creates a lot of mosaics when running, dont know why. Cant be that the machine is too slow, must be something about the coed they use.

You need to install Stuffit in order to install WMP.......
