Hi Gman, I think I cracked the problem. I was looking for the wrong thing in Windows Search. I was looking for Windows Media Player Classic when it is actually just Media Player Classic... I discovered it is bundled with K-Lite Codec Pack which I use for dvds. I didn´t uninstall it yet... am thinking about it :o)) Now I know its bonafide and not a threat I might just leave it, as its an unobstrusive (sp.?) little thing and if it wants to play wavs and midis, so be it!!! Thanks for offer to help, will take you up next time!
