[NTLUG:Discuss] Playing an asf file

I sent a hilarious movie clip to a cousin, which plays correctly under
the totem movie player and noatun. My cousin runs windows and the asf
file will not play. The message he gets is:

The path to the file is not correct
Windows Media Player cannot find the file. The server name, shared
directory name, or file name may be incorrect.

Check the file name and path for any misspellings or discrepancies. If
this error message persists, contact your content provider for the
correct location of the file you want to play.



Error ID = 0xC00D1197, Remedy ID = 0x00000000

I know this is not a Windows question, but it is a joy to watch this
clip flawlessly under Linux and have it choke under windows. I sent the
clip to myself just to check that the email program properly attaches
the file -- it does.

Any clues?
