I've somehow managed to lose the file that allows me to use mp3 files, if I
try to run one it asks me to find "Program.exe". Where can i find/retrieve
this file?
 
Tyranid,

You can fix the audio and video file association settings by using this
command (from Start, Run)

%Systemroot%\INF\unregmp2.exe /SetWMPAsDefault

Note that this fixes the file associations, and also sets Windows Media
Player as the default handler for all the audio and video file types.
Alternately, you can launch WMPlayer.exe from Run dialog, and then fix the
association for .mp3 file type.

If that does not help, try WMP10 as Shenan said.
