Problems Downloading Video Files

[Stephen]

Often after I have downloaded video files, they will not
play on Win Media Player.

Error messages include Win Media Player Encountered An
Unkown Problem or an error message about a certificate
problem.

How do I know if it is a corrupt file or a problem with
my computer?

Any solutions ??

Thanks All !
