Problem will be a video codecs issue affecting playback. Two choices:

1. Get VLC which is a highly reliable player: VLC - (click on link). And you may wish to change the default player over to VLC so VLC opens when you launch video files from LW: Setting Default video app

2. Get updated codecs for your present video player: Sleepless describes it well here: Using a Codec Pack
