I am having problems downloading a video file.whenever i click on it to see a preview it comes up with "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file".

what can i do to remedy this problem. i have tried downloading a more recnet version of windows media player but that didnt seem to do the trick. can someone help me with this problem. this is a TV show that i really want to see and an educated guess tells me it wont be shown in UK for about 6 months.
