That's a great deal of information you gave there. What's happening? Black screen? Audio?

Download VLC player and DivX player. Both free. Try each to see if they work.

If it's a downloaded movie off a p2p (peer2peer, eg kazaa) and your trying to play it in Windows Media Player, and it is just playing audio, it will show you the problem at the bottom of WMP.. eg "Missing Codec (digits)"..
It should also give you a link to download the msising codec from the Microsoft site..
The person above had a good solution.. Quicktime/realtime will help.
