Mac Forum / Applications / Media Player / December 2005WMP won't open on v10.4.3
WMP unstuffs and downloads fine. It will not respond to opening. I have read other messages regarding this. But how can you delete a preference file for WMP if it will not respond and open. Like others, I origiannly thought that I needed to download it again due to a bad download. This 10.4.3 version perhaps has some bugs in it? I would appreciate some very clear assistance from another Mac owner. THANKS! As a matter of fact, WMP SHOULDN'T be running when you try to delete the pref file. Do this: Go to ~/user/Library/Preferences/Windows Media Player Prefs '~' stands for the name of your Hard Drive, 'user' is the name you've given yourself when you installed MacOS X. Since you are at it, in the same folder you might be wanting to delete the com.Microsoft.WMP (or similar name with Microsoft Windows Player in it) file from previous versions of WMP. Spotlight is also great for finding files. Hope this helps.  SignatureKlaus MacOS X 10.4.3 > WMP unstuffs and downloads fine. It will not respond to opening.

You find them in the Pref folder for your user account and you trash them from the Finder.

Did the app properly install in /Applications ?? Did you repair Permissions on your Mac??
