Well it sounds like you might need some codecs. try here http://www.land.ee/d_nimo_codec.html or here http://www.click-now.net/html/K-LiteCodecPack.htm

You also might think about an alternate video player. This one is free http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

It is always good to have an alternate player just in case.

thank you i will give that i try and will post back...
