Go pro help needed - playing back on laptop

Trying to play back a go pro video on a laptop that has windows xp on it, when I plug the go pro in (via USB cable) I go into the DCIM folder, then into 100GOPRO folder, then into the file (GOPRO134) mp4 file, and the it comes up with 'windows cannot open this file, to open this file windows needs to know what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically , or you can manually select from a list of programs on your computer'
im then selecting 'windows media player' from the list and it them says 'windows media player cannot play the file. The player might not support the codec that was used to compress the file'
- do I need a different version of windows or windows media player?
gopro is a HD hero 960 version.
-plugged into my desktop via USB and it plays fine.
any suggestions?
 
you will need mp4 codecs windows doesn't install them as they aren't a Microsoft product
 
Just download VLC player like Graeme suggested. It will play everything, may have to right click on the file and select 'open with' and choose VLC player if it doesn't make it a default player
