Stick to 12.0.7601.24499 as it was the final version for Win 7 to my Knowledge.

It looks like you may be missing some Codecs to play these files.

A way around this is :

Download and install VLC Media Player.

https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

OR :

Install K-Lite Basic Codec Pack.

( NOTE ) : watch the youtube clip Instructions for installation of K-Lite Basic and follow closely.

Take NOTE OFF when he points out Additional Software that may be installed.
Follow his Instructions closely and select the Decline Button when the Additional Software window shows up which may be Ad-Aware Web Companion by Lavasoft or other.
