    Depends. Whats your system specs, age, ect.

    If windows has been installed a while things go wierd like this and theres no choice but to reinstall.
    If you have a slow cpu or low memory or a large pagefile on a full harddrive, this can greatly contribute to the problem.

    Which versions of WMP you use. Do you have codecs, do this happen with different files, or onli with one particular?

    Codec are codes which are used to encrypt video files. Without proper codecs, you cannot watch the video, or you don't have sound. Search for "Codec Pack" and you'll find some codecs which you can install.
