I have the intel-based MacBook Pro, which did not come with Windows Media
Player.    I have the safari, firefox and opera browsers loaded.   I recently
downloaded and successfully installed the Windows Media Player (ver 9) for
the intel based mac.   I say successfully because its in my application
folder and I can start it up and run wmv files.
Unfortunately, none of my browsers recognize that Windows Media Player is
now available on my laptop.  I would have thought that the installation
process would have registered it as a browser extension or something.  Is
there a way to force my browsers to use Windows Media Player now?
thanks,
tim

Did you try installing the Flip4Mac WMV codecs instead?? They are
actually also distributed by MS now,

Just did.  That seems to work within Safari at least.  I'll check the other
browsers tomorrow.  thanks!

Um, yeah there is.   Check out:

I downloaded that on my intel mac and it plays wmv files great.  Except in
the browsers.

supported processors: 450MHz PowerPC G3 processor or higher recommended

it works with your intel mac becorse apple added rosetta* so that you
can use ppc programs (not all)

(*PPC emulator)
