Hi!
I am not sure if this is a question for here or for the internet/network forum:
I have a new iMac with Safari and Intel Processor, running with Mac OS X (10.4.9).
Am trying to watch a virtual tour from a realtor page online, but all I get is the following message:
"This page has content of MIME type video/x-ms-wmv, but you dont have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:
http://www.microsoft...oad/default.asp
Do you want to open the page?"
...so when I click on "yes", it takes me to microsoft which promts me to choose and download one of their softwares. But all I need is a little plug-in, right???
I guess my question is: Do I have to download Windows Media Player or another software in order to see the tour or is there another way?
Thanks!

Kelly, you want to ignore Windows Media Player. MicroSoft
orphaned it. It never worked well on Macs anyway.
Microsoft recommends instead the Flip4Mac Quicktime
plugin. Get it at:
web page
That doesn't cure all ills. Many Windows-oriented web pukes
check to see if you have WMV and don't let you proceed if
it is missing. And all the ones I know of steadfastly ignore
that QT/Flip4Mac would handle their video nicely, thank
you very much.
