Since downloading WMP 10, I can no longer listen to the local FM classical
radio station. I receive error msg. " COOD1197 - HTTP 404 file not found.
Cannot play the file". I am using Windows XP, home edition, version 2002,
service pack 2 installed. My WMP version is 10.00.00.3990 ...

How do you get the complete videos when they stop before finished?

I have some .wmv files that I'd like to view on my Mac (8.6) I recently
downloaded WMP 7, but when I try to open the .wmv files, I get this "channel
does not support the stream format" message.

I recently did a clean install of XP SP2 on a new hard drive.  I can't add
any files to WMP with my main user account.  It searches for files, finds
the files, but does not add the files to my library.
I've added a new user account and have no problems with that account.

Yesterday I upgraded my iBook to OS 10.4, and now Windows Media Player won't
work for me. I downloaded  version 9, and it worked just fine. This morning,
I tried to open it, and the program won't open at all. I redownloaded it. No

I have an intel mac with WMP 9.0.0. On several websites, such as MSNBC, CNN,

I have an older version of Acrobat on my system.  Whenever I go to play
a .wmv file, I receive a warning that the Adobe Type Manager file
cannot be located.  I think it was removed when I transferred data to
my MacOSX format.  The media player will not play.  What can I do?

I tried to watch a music video and got this error message:
"The page “Hey Girl live” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”,
but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should
be available on this page:

Thanks

Ok, I stumbled upon the Flip4Mac Windows Media Quicktime plugin 2.0
today on the MS site (curiously enough, it's not listed on Mactopia.com
though)...Massive props to the MS folks for realizing the value of
Flip4Mac's product and acknowledging that many Mac users WANT to play

I have been using WMP for quite some time.  When I had some video
