I'd say it would be a video card or that the video might even be in the wrong format maybe......

Nah,
Probably missing the codecs. Download the xvid mp4 codec from http://download.divxmovies.com/XviD-1.1.0-30122005.exe or try VLC media player http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

I had the same problem with my work computer, it needed the latest Windows Media Player to be downloaded and installed.

sgt doofey answered the question, your computer has no codecs to uncompress the movie and cant understand it at the moment, either VLC player which will play almost EVERYTHING, or download xvid (divx backwards) and you should be right to go
you dont need a video card and play off the HDD not the CDrom/DVDrom

The K-lite standard or lite pack should meet your needs - contains multiple codecs

Codecs x4
The links provided by pauljh74 and falsonsr are spot on. Install the K-Lite codec pack (containing all the common codecs), and try again.
