Hi,

You know, I have an XBOX console to play games on since my Mac (B&W G3 300 MHz) is now too old to handle the games of today. So, there is a website (www.xbox.com) which has a lot of stuff on XBOX games and, of course, trailers of games. The problem is that they're not in QuickTime format (which I would've wanted) but in WMA format (since it's Microsoft that are running things).

I've installed the latest version, i.e. 9.0 (is there a later one...?) of WMA on my fully updated Panther system. When I try to watch the trailers, Safari says I don't have "a plug-in for that MIME type" and the page "has content of the type application/x-oleobject".

My Q: HOW DO I VIEW WMA MOVIE CLIPS ON MY SAFARI BROWSER IN OS X 10.3.X?

I would very much appreciate an intuitive answer!

Regards/Henrik henrik@gressus.se
