On some systems that have been upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), Media Player won't launch - it quits immediately.<br>
Here's the fix:<br>
<br>
Locate the file "Windows Media Player Prefs" from the Preferences folder in the Library folder in your Home folder, and drag it to the trash.<br>
<br>
Now relaunch the application.
Windows Media Player
Standalone Windows Media file player (superceded by Flip4Mac WMV).

It exists. Maybe you wnet into the "home" folder on the disk. Go into the one with the house icon, and you'll find the library folder in there.Wednesday, May 25 2005 @ 07:34 AM PDT
