1.) Do a virus scan - AVG is quite good.
2.) Try VLC media player (it's free, open source and plays a LOT of different formats) http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
While I'm here...
I highly recommend an alternative to Internet Explorer called Firefox...
Free, fast, a small 5mb download, Firefox blocks pop-ups and sites from secretly installing programs on your computer. It will copy over your settings from other browsers (cookies, settings, bookmarks). Firefox is powerful too, it's more up-to-date than even IE7 according to the web standards (w3.org).
The main reason I like Firefox is because it's customizable.
Why is customizability important?
Imagine being able to do 2 small things and never seeing a banner ad, flash ad or an iframe ad again? (Remember, pop-ups are already gone)
Imagine being able to pause your computer's music player when the phone rings without having to switch to it?
Firefox puts the power back in your hands!

VLC is a good option. More than likely it is looking for a Codec that is not installed on your machine similar to DiVX or XViD. If you know what codec you can download that and install it.
