If you have a broadband Internet connection but have problems playing a video after downloading the latest Windows Media Player and rebooting your PC, try turning off all video acceleration on the Windows Media Player.  Right click at the top menu bar of the Windows Media Player, and go to Tools->Options.  Click on the Performance tab and slide the Video Acceleration bar all the way to the left to disable all acceleration.  Disabling acceleration fixes numerous Windows Media Player playback bugs on various computer models.
