Uhm, WMP for Mac isn't supported by Microsoft any more.
You should be using Flip4Mac which is a QT plugin.

Hey. New board.
Yup, what Tom said. I just wish Flip4Mac would release an intel version. Having to open Quicktime in Rosetta when i want to use it to watch a WMV file is very obnoxious (plus, way slow).

There's MPlayer for OSX
I use MPlayer for Linux and it works quite well, don't know how good it is for OS X, but it plays just about anything.

Hey. New board.
It won't play WMV9 files. Of this I am certain. I'm an mplayer (and mencoder) user from way back.

I have a friend (no really) who's desperately looking to ahem the last WW and isn't having any success. Has anyone got any leads? (You can email me, rather than linking here. )

Hello Tech!Buffistas
This would go in Press, but since I'm a lurker and this is techy, I thought it would be better to post here first ang get a yay or nay. I have a Powerbook G3 Firewire (Pismo) I'm looking to sell with an upgraded g4 550mhz cpu, upgraded dvdrom/cdr, and 768mb ram running os 10.3 along with all sorts of nifty software, but a dead battery and very slight damage to the LCD.
Is anyone here interested? Should I go ahead and post in Press or go back to lurking?
Email addy always good if I was lucky enough to pique interest.

fucking orbitz. I'm trying to book a multiple city flight Seattle to Ny, then Richmond or BWI back to Seattle for my Mom. My Mom really really prefers non-stop flight. Seattle to NY there are non stop. VA to Seattle none. OK - well we can live with that. But if there are no non-stop return flights then Orbitz can't see the freakin non stop flights there. If I put in returning from washington D.C. then there is a perfect flight to NY. As soon as I have her return from Richmond or BWI - Orbitz can't see the freakin flight I want anymore. Can't even alter the choice list. Cause as soon as you change an airport the search changes and the choice I'm trying to get disappears.

Hmm. Maybe try a different search engine? Dunno what dates or anything you want, but if I pick random dates in June, Expedia let me pick a nonstop SEA-NYC, and then whatever flight from BWI-SEA...

It was too many thing at once. I finally got Orbitz to do it by narrowing the flight times. I'd already booked through Orbitz but out of couriousity I tried Expedia. Got the flight I wanted right away - seems like a smoother inteface if you are doing something more complicated than a simple one-way or round trip. Same price though.

Does anyone know how to get rid of Web Nexus adware? It's on my computer at work. The IT guys have tried to remove it a couple times but it keeps coming back. I've found a few programs that say they'll get rid of it, but they all require admin rights. I'm friendly with one of the tech guys, so if I could say "Try X, it will work," he'd give it a shot, but he's too busy to test four or five different solutions hoping one will work. Purveyors of pop up ads should be smacked. Thanks in advance for the advice.
Btw, I got it looking up song lyrics. I've done it many other times w/o problems, but that's definitely how I got it. So I'm not sure how you should follow my advice to be careful when going to lyrics sites... but be careful when looking up lyrics. Yeah, I know, that's a big help.
