The only reason I really even want windows media is for streaming content. Will a player like VLC deal with streaming content. What about the websites that have embeded windows media players.

Also if I have the problem again with voice over crashing, how do I enable root so that I can fix it in another account?
thanks.

Windows media player isn't necessary. Throw it away, and go get flip for mac. It will do the same job, and with considerably less fuss. The only reason I wanted windows media player was to play encrypted content, but it can't/won't do the latest encryption, and nobody is selling the earlier ones, because they've been broken. So, encrypted wmv files are out. With that *major* annoyance, windows media is not worth the hasle it takes to get it installed. Flip for mac plays everything the silly media player will handle, and as I said, it's much easier to install.

Btw, I had sighted site help to install my copy of windows media, and it still took several tries, so don't feel bad you couldn't do it first try alone.
