I have tried everything I know but if I go onto any site that requires windows media it keeps telling me that I have to upgrade to windows 7.0 or higher, Ihave already done that! Help!

Good Evening,

Windows Media Player is no longer supported on the Mac. What you need is a Quicktime plug-in that provides access to Windows media files, Flip 4 Mac. You can download this for free at

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...omponents.mspx

This will install and when you reboot, you should have access to almost all sites. Some use a special version of WMV that use Microsoft's own DRM (Digital Rights Management) much like Apple's FairPlay technology and these will not play with the plug-in alone, but these are rare.

Cheers,

Ian
