some wavs & video won't play

I have always played a lot of wavs using media player. Now almost all new
wavs I download won't play. If I insert them into PowerPoint 2007 they play
just fine. Also, Media Player won't play any .avi files. I have always used
Media Player as my .avi player and up until yesterday it did just fine. I
used software to convert an .avi to wmv and then it played just fine. Any
ideas why these wavs won't play? I have scanned with ZoneAlarm and SpyBot.

Thank you.
