    I prefer using Flip4Mac so I can get all the control of using QuickTime by playing wmv files directly in it. https://www.flip4mac.com/

    However, Window’s Media Player works fine for me in OS X v10.4.2 Tiger. Not sure why you are having a problem downloading it.

    Is this the place you were getting it from?

    What happens? At what point does it give you trouble?

    OK..thanks guys. Here was my problem. I went to the site , and downloaded the appropriate file. What I got was a file on my desktop Windows Media.sitx . To open this I had to manually open Stuffit Expander … and drag this icon into the window. It wasn’t an automated action ….. the normal behavior for all Mac downloads.
