- It may be your Windows has a broken 'codec' (a small program that deciphers how the film should be shown in windows) you could do worse than get the new K-LITE Mega Codec Pack for Windows XP.. its free and will allow your system to play nearly all film types.
  Its free on the internet at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Mega_Codec_Pack.htm
