Hi, I really donno what have I done to get a message "WMV Player Trial
- Plays first half of the video" whenever i play wmv file in Mail, and
can only play the first half. But if i saved it and play it in Windows
Media Player, it has no problem at all. I am using WMP 9 and Tiger with
OS X10.4.2.
If there is a WMV link, when I click on it. Safari will browse the link
and the same message will come out again.
Can anyone help me to fix it? Thanks in advance!

I suspect you installed the demo version of the Flip4Mac WMV QuickTime
codecs. In demo mode, they only play the first half of the video.
You probably installed the MS WMP9 on top of it and notw you can see
Windows Media in the browsers through their plug-in whereas you see half
of the files in Mail through QuickTime support.
You might want to properly uninstall the Fli4Mac codecs (or buy a
license for the full version).
