good question Alexis.

also, are you sure you got a good download?

and, you may want to try flip4mac first. there's really no need to dl wmp for macs. it's a very basic player and it's duties can be handled easily by quicktime with the flip4mac plugin.

welcome to the forums!

exactly right. Flip4mac is far better than the mac version of WMP. Besides, I have a feeling that M$ has discontinued support for the mac version of WMP, so that's another reason to trash it for Flip4mac.

Sorry about that. My OS is 10.4.8 Macbook 700.
I downloaded from official website.
I need it because of some particular reasons, i cant make my expression due to my poor English. But let me try.
I paid for some tv programs from the net, those files need authorizations (username&password). So i dont know if there is any software can do that.
thx u both.
