winamp not found in media control

have re-installed winamp, media control plugin and updated all i can find, but when i create a media control instance, i only get options for itunes and 'universal player' - interestingly it also says "Payer" instead of player... if i go to path box, enter details (standard xp (up to date also) file path), the plugin simply never works... if i use universal player it just brings up new instance of winamp but does not control it.

and i am a fully legit member, honest! i love this great program, and only now after years of re-installing horrible windows every 6 months or so, do i have problems! a shame. sorry if this has come up before, i have searched but it does not come up as recent problem. i use tlb v4.2.3 beta, is this to be expected? sorry if so.
