windows for mac
barnaby jones 04.07.2007 20:06:02
Hi, I'm a Mac OS X (10.4.8) user and wanted to watch CBS shows online so I
downloaded both Flip4Mac and WMP for Mac (eveything, stuff it,etc) but I
still can't watch CSI. I checked the settings on the Innertube and it says,
"WMP not installed". I checked my applications folder and WMP installer is in
there. And why do I have to click on it everytime? Please advise me on what
to do.

WMP and Flip4Mac are two apps competing for the same file types.
COnsidering how little you can do with WMP, I would suggest forgetting
about it and concentrating on Fli4Mac. Re-download the latest version
of the FLip4Mac codecs and reinstall them. They should take care of
disabling the WMP internet plug-in (in /Library/Internet Plugins).
Re-launch your browser and hopefully it will solve the issue (you can
keep the WMP app in /Applications just in case anyway, no need to
delete anything),

They might have a script checking for the WMP app itself (which would
be BAD) instead of simply support for Windows Media file formats.
What's weird is that I just went on the CBS site to check and the
videos I tried were all in Flash...No WMP and no Real format.
ANy specific video I should try??

You shouldn't have to buy anything. You should be able to use Flip4Mac
to watch anything like that over the web.Out of curiosity, do you have
an Intel Mac or a PPC Mac ??
On MacIntel, WMP simply doesn't load as an internet plug-in. FLip4Mac
does though so it shouldn't be a problem, either way.
