A sitx file is a compressed archive created using Stuffit, you would need the free Stuffit Expander to decompress it. HOWEVER - you do not want to use WMP9 for Mac. It was long ago discontinued and even when it was around (and allegedly supported by Microsoft) it was a huge steaming pile of excrement. As usual, third parties have written BETTER software than Microsoft to do the same thing. You want instead to download the free Flip4Mac software which lets QuickTime play WMV, WMA, and ASF files. Go to http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm I find it ironic beyond belief that Microsoft, the world's biggest software company produce decent _hardware_ products, while producing such appalling software. ........ The Microsoft hall of shame... WMP9 for Mac Messenger for Mac IE Explorer for Mac Virtual PC for Mac (after they bought it, they failed to deliver on initial promises regarding upgrades) Office (any version) for Mac <-- Makes even WMP9 look well written Windows Vista ......... It is also ironic that Apple produce better _Windows_ applications than some (all?) of Microsoft's own. |
