I recently helped a friend install WMP 7.1 for Mac OS 8.6 ... when we try
to view a webpage with a .wmv video we get a whole bunch of gobbly-gook.
My experience is only with PC, so I would be very grateful for any help
you guys can offer.

I haven't used this version for wuite a while, but this tells me the
proper MIME types are not registered in the Internet Config Database.
One option would be to reinstall (all browsers not running) and hope
that this time the proper settings will be saved. The other option is to
get all the MIME settings from the MS web site and to enter them
manually,
