If you haven't already, you should download the latest version of Windows Media Player from the Microsoft Download Center. Once the Windows Media Player is installed, verify that it is defined as the default player for Windows Media format files. Do this by starting Windows Media Player, selecting "Tools->Options..." to bring up the options dialog box, select the "File Types" tab, and then check the box next to "Windows Media file (asf)".

You can make Windows Media Player the default player for a number of file types (formats). You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to change the file types that the Player will play by default. The procedure varies depending on which version of the Player you are running. For Windows XP, your AutoPlay settings may affect your Windows Media Player file types settings. For more information about AutoPlay, see Windows Help and Support. See similar questions...
