You should try reinstalling it (dont uninstall it, just install on top of itself).  Download it from this link and follow the instructions, and it should fix itself.

Reformatting is a bit of a drastic way to sort this out. There's probably a simpler solution, like maybe the format of the video you are trying to play needs a plugin. You might want to try a bit more digging around before reformatting:

Finally - hang aorund a bit, there's others on here that may have more experience with Media Player and can advise you.
