I have the new G5, with OX 10.3.5, and have tried, over eight times now, to install the Windows Media Player 9 for the OSX system. It downloads OK, but them gives a strange message that it is not compressed and I need to check info. Then nothing happens.

I have been in touch with the Microsoft people and they are no help.

So far, this is the ONLY problem experienced with this great machine.

It could be a matter of just a bad file, too bad there are no another sites where to get it :-/

maybe you could get it from a Office install disc, or from a magazine, yes, that is so last year...

or maybe from some MacNN member via iChat.

This issue is not specific to Power Macs.

Off to the Software forum...

Most likely the download is incomplete or corrupted. Use a different application to download again.

Thanks - I found my problem. I was using an old version of stuffit - I upgraded and it went right through.

I feel dumb about that one. Should have checked all my programs to make sure I had upgraded. However, all other downloads have worked.
