I have Macbook Tiger (10.4) and when i try to download WMP 9 from the Microsoft site, it downloads in a stuffit , but shows on my desktop as a quicktime movie. Quicktime won't open it because it is "not a movie file" What should i do?

Somehow you're missing Stuffit Expander, or the file type got associated with Quicktime (bizarre and inexplicable) Use this : http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/stuffitexpander.html Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2007 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs

Is there a way to fix this? >
