Good afternoon
                      As I tried to "read" News video on Canöe page (Canada) , I received this error message I'm not able to find in ordinary listing ; since , it's impossible to my WinMedia 9 to connect to the choosed media.
          ...

cant see an installer icon.  any ideas?

Im using media player 9 and panther 10.3.3. i always get a "cannot playback
this file. the file format is invalid"whenever i try to play .ram files. is this file
type not really supported by media player? if its not, can you suggest of a
player that works for thisfile.

Hi, i am currently running mac os x panther, i have accidently copied my
version of windows media player 9, and it wont allow me to uninstall it.  it
has all of the items locked.  if anybody out there could help me it would be
greatly appreciated!

I don't know why ,but if I charge in internet a film , my lecteur window media can't read it and it pop up that
"le lecteur window multimedia a rencontrer un probleme d' origine inconnue"

I asked this question once before and I was curious if anyone else had since
figured out the problem.
About 2 months ago (I think it was at least that long) I was able to listen to
live radio broadcasts at the ESPN website.  They did some kind of update

Even after downloading and installing the divx codec, Windows Media 9 will
not play so much as an .mpeg on my system. I get the message "Cannot play
back that file. The file format is invalid."
I would love to use WM9 for avi's and other assorted formats that Quicktime

I have a client who just installed wmp9 on a G4 with os 10
and only gets sounds when playing a file back from a CD.
The file is WMV9 at 1500k. I had him copy it to the
desktop and still the same results.

I get this error message, "The specified stream type is not
recognized", every time I try to open a .wmv file, whether from a link
or from a file on my hard disk.

My lecturer records his lecture using media encoder from PC, and I cannot
play them in the mac media player, it says codec not supported.

video material/data on my G4 PowerBook,
which means being able to encode such a HDTV-DVD at time - no Blue Ray -
only seems feasible with -> Windows Media Video 9 codec.

Mac OSX - installer stalls. I get to the window that says installing software
and then it stalls - no process bar. Any ideas?
thanks,

get a file on the desktop with the name Windows Media.sitx
I click on this thing and IE gets launched and nothing
happens. I tried a million times. Can someone please help?

I just purchased an iMac G4 with OS 10.3.3 and installed WMP with no
problems but when I visit a site with WMP streaming video I can't increase

change the viewer size. I used to be able to right click or ...
