    DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER FOR MAC!

    It is super outdated, is not Intel native, and Microsoft says so. Instead download the Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin.

    Microsoft themselves recommend Flip4Mac over their dated version of Windows Media Player. You'd more than likely have more luck trying that. :)

    EDIT: beaten by less than 60 seconds by dpaanlka. Ah well:p

    That looks like it's because you have Windows Media Player installed. Try uninstalling it and then try installing Flip4Mac. :)
