I think that the '321' media player has long been bundled with the 'K'lite codec pack. Actually, the media player is very good.

If you installed a genuine version there is a check box for EVERY item that K-Lite can install if you use the custom install option which everyone should do every time they install a program.

The Media Player installed from K-Lite is "Media Player Classic" and is a very good player indeed so if it installed any other player you have installed a hacked version.

Always download K-Lite from the mirrors at

codecguide.com/

Hope this helps to clarify the issue.

I may uninstall the Klite and reload it to see what happens. cheers

Thank you Alan, you were obviously posting as I was typing. I downloaded the k.lite update from the link here, and It is now coming back to me that there was a mountain of stuff which I did not understand, so I probably just said yes to everything, so it was my own fault I guess. I am perfectly happy with wmp and vlc for my music needs, I can make my own CD's and transfer to my MP4. I think i will do as I suggested and re-instal but maybe this time take a closer look. Thank you I think I will also adopt your avatar

I myself use Media player Classic Home Cinema, also VLC, both are excellent!

You can then choose to associate the codecs with a specific media player.
