I have a G4 Mac, OS X and I'm attempting to download Windows Media Player. I downloaded it but when I went to click on it on my desk top it said "There is no default application specified to open the application "Windows Media-1.sitz". The thing is, that usually means you can't open it because I've never been successful choosing an application to open another application.

What do I do? How do I download it? Anyone know?

Thank you!

I have a DSL connection. I have my modem connected via USB. I just got a Belkin N wireless router . I connected my computer networkingcable to the wired computer portion of the wireless router. I then connected the other networking cable to the router and modem via the modem port. then plugged everything in. I left the modem USB cord connected but was unable to connect to the interent. I tired unplugging the cord and the same thing happened. Is the problem due to my modem being connected via USB. I tried connecting my modem via ethernet but am unable to get an internet connection that way. Do I have to set up my modem for ethernet before I can get this wireless router to work? I have a westall modem.

I'd like to find a good free CD burning program which is easy to use. Something where I can move songs around easily on the list etc, easier than Media Player. Hopefully something which doesn't expire as a trial.

If you could provide a link that would be very helpful.

Thanks a lot.

I was posting a comment on a website then the webmistress just wrongfully bashed me for some odd reason by saying, "Kristin M.(me), talo, Stuck & Stitch, who are you trying to fool here? posting under different nicknames with the same ip… god your f***ing pathetic.". What is she talking about when she says "IP"?

Version 7 of IE uses way to much memory for my slow computer.
I want to know if it is unsafe to use an older version of IE or Mozilla. All I want is the tab feature, but IE7 is very slow for some reason.

It says my Product Key has exceeded the amount of times it can be used...WTF!! Then they say I can BUY either a new operating system, or BUY a new Product Key which is as much or MORE than the system itself!! What kind of crap is this!! I'm gonna call the phone number it gives, but anyone have any ideas? Will they give me a new Key for FREE, or do I need to BUY one every time I wipe my hard drive??

I recently bought a 42" HDTV. 1080p with a max resolution of 1900x1200. However I am having a hard time setting it up at that resolution. The highest I can get for one reason or another is 1280x1024. I have a fairly old card (Radeon x800xl) and I'm using a DMI - HDTV connector. I'm not sure whether it could be the card or the cord or maybe I'm just missing something. I have all the lates Radeon drivers and I've tried fiddling around with all the settings in CCC, but if I try to set it higher than 1280x1024, the screen just goes black.

Why is this happening? It just started today. What can I do? Who should I call? I want it gone!!!
