I just switched from Windows and got a new 15" Powerbook. While I'm sure I'll figure out this whole mac thing eventually, I feel like such a novice with my basic questions. Hopefully, someone can help me out anyways.

I'm trying to open .wmv movie files. I tried downloading Windows Media Player for Mac OSx, but I couldn't open it since it comes in a .sitx format.

So how can I either download and install Windows Media Player or open .wmv files some other way?

Thanks.

You need Stuffit to expand .sitx files - should be available at www.macupdate.com . WMP will then play .wmv files.

Stuffit is an old compression format.

You'll need to download the Stuffit Expander (available free here). Stuffit used to be included with Mac OS X but isn't anymore. You will need it to expand many things you download.

Edit: I had the feeling someone was going to beat me.

Thanks so much. You don't see very many helpful Windows communities :-)
