When you say page of code, you see that in internet explorer or does it try and open windows media player? It might be a file association problem, wmv files might not be set to open with windows media player for some reason. If you open Windows Explorer, click on tools>folder options, then click on the file types tab. Scroll down to WMV files and make sure its set to open with windows media player. If not, highlight it and click the change button, and change it windows media player.
