Hi, whenever I try to open a wmv file online, itunes automatically opens, and I get the beachball of despair. I have media player, and flip4mac installed. How can I stop this? Thanks
 
Make sure iTunes isn't set as the default player. Download a .wmv file but don't play it. Get info on that file (command + i) and change the Open With setting to Windows Media Player and select 'change all' so all .wmv files you download open with WMP.
 
One thing you DO NOT WANT TO USE is Windows Media Player.
It doesn't do much on a Mac, and MicroSoft stopped development
on it a long time ago, pointing Mac folk to Flip4Mac.

Or iTunes for that matter. iTunes doesn't really do WMVs.

Do the splat-I (get info) on a wmv and choose QuickTime. That's
where your Flip4Mac went if properly installed. If that works for
you check the box that says "use QT for all WMVs."
