You can also try VLC Media Player, which a lot of people recommend, though I personally dislike the program: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

You are def. looking for WMedia Player Classic, it is such a rock they added it in with K-lite; when you install K-Lite (full) they give you WMedia Player Classic and they give you the option to associate video files with either WMedia Player or WMedia Player Classic so when you launch video it will do it with that program. (FYI, I also agree with Fango - VLC Player sux)
