Both and, programs cannot as such interfere with eachother, but codecs
and dll's can and will at every given chance. This is why i
recommended smplayer and/or vlc, since they both use their own sets of
codecs instead of using (and cluttering) the standard DirectShow set
that Windows Media Player and virtually every other media player use.

To find the version of nearly any Windows program, click "Help" and
then "About".

Also, if you already have vlc, you should be able to play WMA and WMV
with it. Just make sure you have the latest version from
www.videolan.org and you're all set.
