Problem opening .wmv file extension

Hi, I have the latest version of the Windows Media Player
for my Mac. When I try to open a file with the .WMV file
extension, which is a streaming video file, it tells me I
need a plug in to run the file. Any idea what plug in it
is that I need or if there is another way to get around
it? Thanks! Karen

I have the same problem ...When I try to open streaming
into a web page in my browser, it tells me that I don't
have the right plugin installed. Wich is not true. I have
windows media player installed and the internet plugins of
media player. I use a G4 under OSX 10.2.8. thanks for any help

When WMP doesn't work I use Mplayer or VLC. U can find them at
versiontracker.
