I would suggest dloding a complete filter pack ie..Tsunami or Nimo.....Both are available here...

I prefer Tsunami of the two.....

Not too many films I come across that it wont play..

In addition to that, I recommend that you use the more reliable WMP 6.4 or BSPlayer.

Search through UncasMS's homepage. The pack can be found in his download page.

Player softwares can be found here. WMP 6.4 is usually preinstalled with Windows and can be accessed by running the command 'mplayer2.exe' from within the Run Command.

why is the wmp 6.4 more reliable than 7.1 wmp

The few reasons I can recall are:
1. It allows you to access the codec properties
2. It loads faster and is not as 'fussy' as its younger brother
