Aspect Ratio problem?

Hi!

My problem is, while watching some files with Windows Media Player the aspect ratio isn’t 4:3 or 16:9, it is something like 3:4. I get a taller and thinner screen.
How can I solve this problem?

I couldn’t figure it out.
What causes this? Why does some files' aspect ratios are wrong?

What’s wierd is the same file on a different PC plays fine. And, the same file, on the same PC, with a different player (Like VLC) also plays fine.

Some how windows media player on this particular PC is misinterpreting the file.
