Steven,

Can you navigate to the wmv file in a command line window? If you can, enter 
the command:
mplayer file.wmv
To see what mplayer says when you try to play your wmv file...It might give you 
a clue as to what is up. MPlayer definitely plays wmvs with the right codecs 
installed. Not sure if someone already suggested reading:
