download a programme called vlc from www.videolan.org

One of the best media programme I've ever come across and plays almost every format.

Or get a codec pack
k-lite codec pack is one of the more comprehensive ones, if you install that you shouldn't have probelms playing the majority of file types and codecs

VLC Media Player seems to work with almost any video file you throw at it http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

And I always find I have to load ffdshow to get Windows Media Player to handle "downloaded" AVI files http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow
