I dont know if it will work on a MAC but i use a prog. called GSpot itll tell you the codecs. But if you use the prog. Kanzen suggested (VLC) you shouldnt need it that thing is the fing BOMB..... Also to fuckface17 if its alot of files named .rar01-.rar(whatever) open the first one and it should unpack it if you have winrar of course. But also a note on a site i found if the file is (videoname.wmv.rar) just take out the .rar. I mention that cause i ran into that issue not realizing i had Vista set to not show known file types. |

I hate that Windows feature. But I just bought a Mac, so why should I care. Macs aren't very popular in Finland, I'm the only one I know that has one, so this thread will probably be very useful to me in the future. This thing looks good, works like a dream and responds much faster than what I've experienced with Windows boxes, but a downside is that this GUI is just weird and key combinations require quite a bit of guesswork. |

One problem already. For some weird reason this computer seems to think the first day of the week is Sunday. While it must obviously be so in some part of the world, it's definitely not so in Finland (nor anywhere in Europe), and I cannot seem to find a way to change it to Monday. Could someone help me with this? Another weird thing is that this puts the euro sign before the amount of money (as if it were dollar sign), and I don't find a way to change that, either... |

Update... Changing region in the formats dialog to "Finland" fixed the currency format, changed dates to dd.mm.yyyy and switched to 24 hour clock. Who would have thought. Stupid me. But iCal still thinks week begins on Sunday. |

Hey Kanzen, I have a bit of a problem whenever I log into WBW. Once I sign in, all of the text shifts to the left side of the page whenever I'm at the homepage. I've also been trying to sign up to be a sponsor, but once I click on the upgrade button it takes me to the page where it talks about all the perks of being a sponsor, but I can never click to actually upgrade it since everything has shifted on top of eachother. Is there anything that you know of that would prevent this from happening? Thanks for any suggestions. |

Ah... It's the top menu that I find unintuitive. After using Windows and X Window System apps I'm used to having menu attached to the application window. ![]() However, simply shutting iCal down and starting it again (after changing the region to Finland) did the same thing. |

When I download movies from WBW, all i'm getting is a Green screen. My Quicktime and other downloaded software plays all other movie clips just fine. Any idea? |
