Windows Media Player not working

My windows media player ver 9 would not play .wmv or other media player files. I have upgraded to ver 10 & 11 with the same problem. Getting the following pop up message

" Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."

Getting the same message regardless of the type of file I try running with the media player.

Any and all help will be appreciated.

Jack
