Try transferring the file from the device again.
Does the file play on the phone?
Do any 3gp files play on your computer?

you may need what's called a codec, which is a piece of software that will enable you to play media files in media player that windows doesnt automatically recognise. the codec pack i usually recommend is sharkys codecs software, which can be downloaded from here-

3GP is quite an old format too though by the way as most smartphones now record in *.mov or *.mp4 format so it could be possible too that the file simply became corrupted with age, although this is unlikely if you can still play it back on the phone.
