the program, it would always give me a "The ...

a Mac user.  Bah!  This kinda behavior is exactly why I stoped using
Microsoft Windows to begin with!

I recently switched iMacs. I'm having a problem playing .wmv now. The new
Mac is a G3 600mghz booted in 9.2.2. (also has 10.1.5). WMP is 7. I've

extensions, etc) over and over again. As far as I can tell ...
