Hi,
Here's a few good links on the subject:

Personally I use two good third party video players:
VideoLAN's VLC: http://www.videolan.org/
Media Player Classic: http://mpc-hc.org/
You're actually asking this question in the wrong forum though, this forum is for suggestions and feedback on the forums themselves. I would recommend posting a question over in the Windows forums here if the links above don't do the trick for you:

Good luck, hope it works out for you.
