[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1432887"] It sounds like you never actually installed MPlayer -- you just put the disk image in Applications. When you download a program, it often comes as a disk image (dmg file). Double clicking that mounts the "disk" on your desktop and inside that is the actual application. You're supposed to drag THAT file to your Application folder. Once that's done, you should be able to drag the "disk" and the disk image file (dmg) to the trash. I suspect what's going on is that you're launching the disk image, then launching the application. A program cannot be trashed while it is open. Perhaps you are trying to "quit" MPlayer by clicking the red button on the program's top left side. This is not how you quit applications. You must choose File -> Quit from the menubar or command-q. But anyway, here's how to get rid of the program if you still want to: 1. Restart your computer. Make sure that MPlayer or the disk image are not set to open automatically at login. 2. Locate the Mplayer DMG file. Drag it to the trash. [/QUOTE]
