novkhan - are you using Media player because you want to look at WMV or listen to WMA files? One I've found to be very worth while looking at is mplayer - not sure about WMV capabailities (supposedly it can play WMV but I've not tried) but it works a treat with WMA as long as you d/l all the right codecs. All the other video I have tried works well too - and yes its free
