Hello all
Power Mac G4 Quicksilver (2002) 800mhz, OS10.4.11 (Tiger).
I used to play windows media files (.wmv) before I had to do a
complete reinstall after a disk crash.
I thought it was via Real Player but that just gives me error -2048.
My Quicktime is version 7.6.4
Can someone advise what I should be using, please?
TIA Ged

You need Quicktime and an OLD version of Flip4Mac, I think. I have a collection of MacAddict disks at home (sadly none here, or I could search the index) but I think they may have had version from back then.
I was able to play some old, old WMV files with Quicktime 5, iirc (another thing I got from the MacAddict disks :-)
