You do need a 'codec' for it. Windows itself comes without one, though
I would have thought the Roxio player would have it (if that is a hold
over from Upgrading to XP, try reinstalling it; the upgrade is likely to
have uninstalled the codec).
There are various sources for codecs, some free, but I think you then
get what you pay for. One suggestion is at
http://www.cineplayer.com/decoder/default.htm
for $14.99
