1. I'm trying to view the videos with Windows Media Player 9 for Macs and it's giving me an error. What can I do?

While we had great hopes for the new Windows Media Player Version 9 for Macs, we've found it is still not compatible with the license acquisition software we use on the site. Microsoft is aware of this problem and our video tech team is working with them to come up with a solution. In the meantime, we have plans to offer more of our content in the Quicktime format.
