Don't use WMP it's very fickle when it comes to video file formats.

There are plenty of free alternatives such as VLC, Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, etc.

Agree VLC media player plays nearly every format .
Otherwise you need a codec pack for WMP ( just google wmp codec )

VLC is the best player out there, and it's free!
VLC free download

another vote for VLC

but if you really want to use Media player then

Thanks for all your reply. I am aware of VLC.
The reason why I wanted WMP is that I also want to use Media Centre on my PC [on win XP]
Still searching for the right codec pack
