Long answer... good luck...

The following decoder could be your problem but it's not freeware.

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Anyway... This article is maybe worth a visit:

Windows Media Player multimedia file formats (316992)

Media players free alternative that should play the files:

VLC Media Player (32-bit Version)

(works on XP, Vista, 7, 8)
(the name of the file to download is: vlc - 2.0.5 - win32.exe)

VLC Media Player (64-bit Version)

(the name of the file to download is: vlc - 2.0.5 - win64.exe)

Media Player Classic Home Cinema

(Win XP SP3 3, Vista / 7 / 8 (with a few questions about 8).)
The two 32-bit (x 86) and 64-bit (x 64)) (name of file
downloading is: "mplayerc_homecinema.1.6.5.6366.x86.exe)."
(start with left click - Download (direct link)

And it might be worth a try to download
and install 'one' of the following free codec packs:

K - Lite Codec Pack (full)

Vista Codec Package

(Windows XP / Vista)

Personally I would remove the compatibility
questions and convert the files to the WMV MP4
format. One of the reasons being... If the files are shared
with anyone... they will encounter the same problems.

There are many converters to retail and freeware
available on the net... the following link is a
for example.
