you can use VLC media player . download from www.videolan.org . it plays most of the audio & video files .

windows media player auto search the desired path and download ur required codec or if u know the format of movie than u can download codecs from many sites like www.download.com

http://www.divx.com/ you download the player and codecs, but just select the codecs when you install

It is sometimes so difficult to find which codec is missing, my solution was to give up and download gom player, http://www.gomplayer.com/main.html what didn't play in media allways (so far) played on that.
