I want to add videos to my treo 650 but palm desktop is asking me to install windows media player nine. When i try to it will not install because i have a higher version already installed, media player ten. how can i get palm desktop to recognize media player ten or get videos on my treo?

I don't think windows media player will work with palm. It is only for windows. Most here use a player called TCPMP player. It is free and comes with plug ins to play video and audio files.

I don't believe it will play WMP files, again that is a windows format. I thought they were going to try and create a plug in for windows files but have not heard of one, yet.

There was a plug-in for WMP formats, but they had to remove it due to licensing issues. You can still find it on the web.
