    hey thanks that little player is great its totally playing the unplayable.. some things i have downloaded are all..um..jumbled i guess when i play it in there, but it plays it.. also doesnt play WMVfiles:(
    i am also having a problem with Windows media Viewer. I am trying t o play some things i have downloaded with this app because it is the one the computer reccomends i guess,(this is in a mac) then when i go to play it it tells me that i need a different version, and it sends me to the web site but with a mac i can only upgrade to 9 and it is at 10. it tells me i need some special WMV V7. I have no idea what they need me to do... was that confusing
