To have WMP to open a music file, right click on one and then clic open with > choose program. Check Windows Media Player and also the always use this program to open this type of files at the bottom.
You can also click START and then Set Program Access and Defaults to set WMP to be your default player.

in the add and remove programs box there is a bit to click that says show updates, try clicking that and your media player should be there. if you downloaded media player 10 it will not work unless you have xp. also there is not much between 9 or 10, just looks nice.

Real Player must be your default player. You can change this, but I am not sure how.
