easy solution - stop dossing off at work ;)

I would have thought that the mpeg 2 codec would be a standard inclusion for Media Player. You could try installing this http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Stinky_MPEG_2_Codec.htm

If that doesn't work, try downloading VLC Player as an alternative to WMP and see if you have any luck with that.
