It's only a guess, but I imagine you need possibly an updated codec for the WMV files installed for Windows Media player.there's a Wiki at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Video#Players MOV is an Apple format and should play in the Windows version of Quicktime, which does handle quite a few file types. Not the most straightforwardly accessible player as you can usually only navigate through a file after stoping play first - with the space bar I think. HTH.

Windows Media Player returns an error telling me that my sound card may need to be updated or isn't installed properly, but I don't think this is the case as I have been able to stream part of the TV programs which these files contain from the internet. Does anyone know whether I need a plug-in for Media Player to allow these files to play, or do I need a different program altogether, and if so, which one? I have looked on the internet and have found reference to Apple QuickTime and Silverlight, but I'm not sure whether either of these would be suitable. Thanks, Caroline.
