No, because it doesn't play on a Mac! Their systems are different from eachother. Apple has its Quicktime that is better than mediaplayer!

Try opening you file in windows media player. If that does not work, install more codecs ( google search "codecs" ). You can also install vlc ( http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ ).

Have you tried downloading the media player software from Microsoft?

I used to have that happen.  I just gave up on it and started to use something called VLC Media Player.  It is free, just search www.download.com for it.  It can play anything and everything, it is quite possibly THE best media player out there :)\nOR go to Microsoft.com and get support from them directly, who better to answer a question then the manufacturer?

most of the videos on yahoo have been formated for viewing on the PC. Your best bet is to go to microsofts site and get windows media player for mac. It should give you the program and plugin. For me, it still only works about half the time...

To make the long story short, first uninstall your Windows Media Player, from  add/remove windows components, in your control panel. Once you have donde so go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/default.aspx and download it and install it again. This should take care of the problem, and avoid you further waste of time,\n\nGood Luck!

You need to download the DivX codec that Windows Media Player provides, just click Web Help and find it. I had the same problem.

Depends on the verison of Windows Media player that you have.\nYou can always install "Quicktime" to play MP4 files.\nI'm listening to one now.\n\nHere is the page where you can get the installer-\nhttp://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/mpeg4/\n\nmessage me if you have any questions.

find a .mov file on your pc.... right click the file from the drop down select "open with" .. from slide out menu select "choose program".... from the list that is presented select windows media player and put a check in the box "always use this program for this file type" .... now wmp will be your default player for .mov files  (i'm not sure that windows media player can play .mov files... i  avoid the format whenever i can)

You can't, actually.\n\n"If you came here wondering how to make Firefox use the Windows Media Player plugin play a specific file type instead of Quicktime, then you should know that the WMP plugin is hard-coded to only play the proprietary Microsoft formats (.asf, .asx, .wm, .wma, .wax, .wmv, and .wvx), and Windows Media Player provides no provision for changing this."\n\nhttp://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206213

There has been either an installation problem or a download problem. Re-install Windows Media Player and the clip will work.\n\nREMEMBER: If a request for something to download i.e. Media Players, files etc, come up automatically, make sure that the download is safe. Some sites automatically presume you need a certain version of some software just like in your case. Do not click download but go on the legal site and then download the file.

Unfortuantly media player is quite tightly tied into Windows.\n\nIf upgrading / downgrading / uninstalling / reinstalling doesn't work then you only have one choice...\n\nReinstall the OS.\n\nI had a very similar problem, and that was the only way to resolve the issue.\n\nAlternativly you could switch to RealPlayer which will play all the same formats and more.
