That's not exactly "Hints, tips, and tricks"...

Does it say what codecs are missing?

Download Flip4Mac and Perian.
This should cover most formats.

I thought he meant he's getting the problem in Windows Vista!?

i think he is getting the problem with vista, search the words CODECS on google, and then download codec PACKS, which shud cover most of the codecs... this will run MOST movies...

If Windows Media can't run Windows media (video or audio), who can?
For the sake of what's left of my respect for Windows, I hope his problem is in OSX.
But I agree with you guys, I guess that little respect is gone.
