If you have trouble playing a file, it's usually because of codecs.

Try using VLC media player or DivX player. These players have the codecs built in and are free.

More info on codecs and media players here: CODECs list and alternate players for Movies

XP Codec Pack 1.3.3 is a good one to use with windows media player.
