    Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file

    I used to watch video clips on my laptop. Suddenly, when I tried to play a video clip I get the message "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file". I followed recommendations from Microsoft's web page and tried to remove the programme
    but it does not show on the "remove/change programmes". I tried to install Windows Media Player but a message reads that "Windows Media Player is not compatible with your system". I am not a tech person but can some one please help me with basic step by step
    information?
