[QUOTE="Soulwar, post: 753152, member: 46986"] Are you sure it's not an AOL problem? Some of the problems you mention involve AOL... "Then I ran into the problem with getting the plug-in message through America Online." "AOL desktop allows anyone to open the program and see your mail and other info. " Same could be argued with going online. AOL is not the internet. You have to send a request thru AOL to access the actual internet. (unless they've changed that) Some of the files you are accessing are Windows based files. Not that the Mac can't handle it, but Microsoft doesn't support their programs on the Mac. (excluding Office, etc..) WMP has been discontinued. [URL="http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/zanswers/175"]How to play Windows Media Video (WMV) on Mac OS X[/URL] I watched ESPN videos this morning with no problems. Make sure you have [URL="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx"]Flip4Mac[/URL] installed. Let us know if this helps. Remember, you are using a Mac and not Windows. They are different and you have to think as such. If you think it behaves like a Windows machine, you'll get frustrated easily. [/QUOTE]
