[QUOTE="KevinOnKeys, post: 38162"] Hi all. I am running OS X.2.8 on an iMac G3 500Mhz. I was having so many problems opening downloaded .wmv files that I finally searched for upgrades and found version 9 of Windows Media Player, but upon install and attempting to use it to play back files I've downloaded from the web, I keep getting the same lousy error message: "cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again" Now, I can use 9 to open other .wmv files I have, it's specifically the ones I'm downloading that won't work (off of Limewire). 9 out of 10 give this message! I tried uninstalling it and re-installing it, repairing permissions, etc......I even tried alternative video playback programs for OS X and they wouldn't work either, so??????? None of the forums or MS known issues guides have been of any help. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, especially if you can just e-mail directly at [email]KevinOnKeys@hotmail.com[/email]. Thanks! Kevin K. :confused: :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
