Also says "The specified stream type is not recognized."

These are all .wmv or .asf files that friends have emailed to me from other
Macs where they play just fine. But for me they won't.... well...with the
exception of a couple of the files which appear to be exactly the same "file
format" as the ones that don't work.

Can anyone tell me wherein lies the problem? Thanks!
