[QUOTE="JuniorNA, post: 277046"] Hey guys, nice to meet all of you. Great forum, and really good information here. Did some searching, and learned a lot tricks/tips already. I do have one quick question though. I'm using camino browser, and I love it...but my favorite site is giving me a problem. Uselessjunk.com In my other laptops, media player would be embedded into the page...no problems. Now with the MAC, it's asking for me to install windows media so it can play the files within the browser. Now my 2 questions are A. can I somehow switch that so that quicktime plays in the browser at al times, or is it the actual source (website) that is telling me that i NEED to use windows media or i will not be able to view. and B. I tried to download windows media 9 for mac. both the bin file and the hgx file. BOth of them are getting stuck at "preparing" when using stuffit. I left it overnight, thinking that maybe it would take a while to unpack, i came back this morning, and it will still stuck there...I had to do a force quit to get it out of there. Am i missing something with the install? Is STUFF IT just like winrar, and maybe its just one of the million different unpacking, or unraring programs out there. Maybe if i download another unpacking program it will work. Has anyone encountered that issue when installing windows media for mac, or any other software for that matter? When i double click the bin file, it goes right to STUFF IT, and says "preparing". ANy help would be great. THanks in advance, and I look forward to learning and hanging out here in this forum . peace [/QUOTE]
