Denis: what happens when you open the app?

What happens is that everytime I try to play certain videos, (like the "ghetto drifting" one from here or news videos from MSNBC.com), it has a little pop-up that says that I don't have the right software to run it and won't play it. On the NBC site, it has a link to the Windows Media Player site for anyone who doesn't have it, and I tried to install it there. Again.
I like the WiFi capabilities of this thing and it's great looking, but other than that I'm really not impressed. The keyboard and trackpad suck something awful. My aging PC at home has the worst-ever OS, (Windows ME), and more viruses than a whore in TJ, (I'm too cheap to buy the AV software), is about 10 times faster than this thing for what I use it for. And all imaginable software is either on it from new or easily downloaded and I have NEVER had a problem playing any kind of file on it.
I'm not real computer-savvy, so not sure how I should be "opening" the application. On a PC, you simply click on the link for the video.
