error message windows media player for Mac osX |
|
|
I get this error message " The file name, directory name or volumn
label syntax is incorrect". What does this mean and how do I fix it?
Thanks You,
Leah

If applicable, try removing special characters from the hard drive name
(like é, ñ), and see if that helps.

I have the same problem, running WMP 9 under Tiger 10.4.2. I've tried
trashing plists, reinstalling WMP, and my hard drive is still the
"Macintosh HD" it's always been.
In fact, one prefs file recommended to be trashed by another
thread--com.microsoft.mediaplayer--cannot be found on my PowerBook G4
at all. Any other ideas?

Special characters in the name of any folder in the path to the file
have the same consequences.

Have you ever managed to play a WMP file on your Mac ?? Even the demo
file installed with the app ???
If you go to the Fidner and press command-shift-g and paste
~/Library/Preferences/ in the pane, you should get in your pref folder.
If you've ever played anything in WMP "com.microsoft.mediaplayer.plist"
should definitively be there.
If it isn't, you might have a permission issue (use Disk Utility to
repair permissions on your drive),
