I am unable to play a WMV file that a friend sent over.   The error
message states that I need WMP 9 to view the file.  I just downloaded
WMP 9 today, so I assume I have the latest version ...
I am running MAC OS 10.3.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you!

I suspect this message is targetting Windows users. You probably need a
codec you don't have anyway in the Mac version of WMP9 (or the file uses
DRM 7). In any of these cases, there is nothing you can do :-\
