Hello. I am trying to download windows media player from the microsoft
website. In order to do so I am required to download the GenuineCheck.exe
program to validate that I have a genuine edition of Windows. I downloaded
this GenuineCheck program but my computer asks me to "choose an application"
to run it. Which application should I choose. My computer doesnt have a
default set. Please help! Thanks

The Windows version of Windows Media Player will only work on Windows.
If you're downloading this for Mac you should instead download Flip4Mac
as directed by Microsoft
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=window
smedia>.

Windows Media Player for Macintosh has been discontinued but is still
available via the page above.

Hope this helps! bill
