Default WMP says it can not play file...

Hi,

I have a MPEG video[file extension MPG]. Windows identifies it as an MPEG.

On my XP HOME WMP 11 says it can not play the file. I also tried Moviemaker
and it could not import it. So, I tried it on my VISTA PREMIUM and it plays
and Moviemaker can import it. I understand that these are two different OS.

Why doesn't WMP on XP automaically download the codec or whatever is needed?
[I have Nero installed on XP and it has not trouble playing it.
