Default Can't watch certain types of video files

I can't seem to watch some video files on my laptop. It seems to be wma files. I can watch avi files ok though


I've got vista and it just updated itself last night so that's probably the problem. Anyone heard anything about this?

Try a program called VLC media player - I've used it for ages and it's never failed to play a file yet. It's a free program too Website here
