I'd recommend that you download the latest version of Windows Media Player from-
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/
If some videos don't play on the windows media player, then the problem would mostly be because your computer doesn't have the video codecs required to play that video. A video codec is a device or software that enables video compression and or decompression for digital video. The compression usually employs lossy data compression.
If the videos aren't playing, I suggest you download a complete Codec packakge like XP Codec Pack from
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/XP_Codec_Pack.htm
XP Codec Pack is one of the most complete codec pack which helps you to play all major audio and video formats. Go to http://www.free-codecs.com/ for more codecs.

If the videos still don't play, try opening them with VLC Player. Download VLC Player from

It is possible that you need to update the software. The other issue is that it might not have the proper codec to view the video. A codec is a basically a decoding key for compressed items such as video and audio. If you need a codec try googling the extension of the files you are trying to open such as .avi (which may requrie teh divx codec) or .mov (which is a quicktime format).
Hope this helps.
