Simon.
Hmm, didn't have that problem myself mate , but I have had that problem trying to watch some other movies in the past.
Sometimes movies, copied DVD's and videos have strange uncommon codecs that Windows Media Players doesn't have, so it either crashes or tells you that's it's missing one or more codecs required to play the desired movie clip.

I would suggest installing the codec 'ffdshow" mate.

Other wise, install "vlc" media player http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ , it's great and plays everything that Windows Media Player won't.
