WMV files are not WAV files; they are Windows Media. Open Windows Media Player, then click the FILE menu and browse to a .wmv file, and open it. If it works, then all is well. Perhpas the file association with WMV has not be made. This is how WMPlayer opens automatically when a file that it handles is double-clicked. In Media Player, click the TOOLS menu, then OPTIONS, then FILE TYPES tab. Be sure that the WMV choice is enabled with a checkmark in its box.
