Windows Media Player and 10.4

Anyone else having major problems with it? Ive gotten it to not crash maybe 2 times out of nearly a 100 attempts. Whats going on?!?

Nope, no problems here. I remember the installation being a bit shaky in Panther though.
But, it's still a resources hog.

The stand-alone app crashes every time, but web-page embedded WMP stuff plays just fine.

It's working fine for me. Have you tried ditching the preferences? Maybe ditch the whole thing and reinstall it?

I'm not sure, how do you find out?

Click on the Apple (upper left hand corner) > About This Mac > Click on Version 10.4 once and it will change to the build you have.

Thanks for that.

Build number 8A428.

I assume all current retail versions of Tiger (like mine) have this same build number, right?
