OT MS wmv problem

Hey, I know it's off topic, but I'm having a problem with windows
media player.

When I try to view wmv files sent to me by various people I get the
following message,

Wmp.dll 11.0.5721 was found where 11.0.5721.5260 was expected. It
then tells me wmv is not installed correctly and asks if I want to go
to MS site and download wmv. I have done this multiple times to no
avail. It does not help.
Researched the ms site and the web and found ms knows about it so
download this "patch"…doesn't make any difference. I either need to
find out how to fix this or get rid of ms wmv and use something that
actually works.

Any ideas?
Take it to email if you would so as to not offend the natives/or not.

Thanks
