Not long I went from PC to Mac. So far, I am really pleased with my MacbookPro! Now to the "issue"

Like a lot of other people, I am a frequent user of the internet. Since i bought my MacbookPro I noticed that I couldnt view or listen to some movie or audio files on the internet. When I try to view a video, a small window pops up, telling me to go to: Microsoft Windows Media — Your Digital Entertainment Resource

I have downloaded Flip4Mac, with no result.

What am I to do?

Did you install "Flip4Mac" ? If it has been installed properly, open System Preferences, look for the "Other" category, and click on the - Flip4Mac WMV icon. Make sure you go through all the settings.

If you don't see Flip4Mac - WMV in System Preferences, then it hasn't been installed and you won't be able to view WMV streaming media.

Regards.

Maybe you haven't installed the Adobe Flash Player yet. That's very important for viewing videos from sites like YouTube.
