I have a couple of videos that play fine in mediap layer, but the players tel
me they are 0 seconds long and i cannot navigate through those videos.

Is there any way to fix this?

re-install it.

What file type? This is usually indicative of either file corruption or
metadata corruption within that file. How were these files acquired? If
you have a "download-to from file sharing services" folder set up as a
monitored folder, WMP will scan the just created file, which would result in
bad metadata being populated. There's tools within file sharing apps to
avoid this ("Use temporary names" or that sort of thing).
