I have been using WMP for quite some time. When I had some video
problems today I checked for upgrades and discovered Windows Media
Player 9 for Mac OS X at the URL above. However, when I click the
download button I get nothing. I can see a quick URL on the address
bar for a split second (file:///private/tmp/501/Temporary%20Items/
.__SDPluginHelper.html) and then nothing. I have tried using Safari as
well as IE. Anybody else have this problem? Any solutions out there?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

No -problem here... Try:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/software/macintosh/osx/def
ault.aspx

It should lead you to the file itself at:
