the same happens to me with the wmv files i found in LW. they won't play, the just open a window tring to sell me a pass to that web page. but let me give you a hint on wmv files, put the mouse over the file and if the imfo window that shows, says the same like the file, thats BULL ****. but if there's more imformation in that window (like author: Type: Date: etc....) that's a good one I know because all my files are in wmv. and I have a lot.
