d fact dat u able to play it normally thru VLC means dat in all likelyhood u facin codec issues

try re-installin d codec pack (after completely uninstallin d older 1)
hopefully it will solve ur problem

assumin d codec pack installs ffdshow, assign it 2 decode WMV files

den usin d VFW interface assign libavcodec to render d WMV video
