Either grab a codec pack like shark007s codecs that will let you play mkvs in windows media player or grab something like kmplayer or VLC for a standalone solution

This. MPHC will cater for all your playback needs, and handles DXVA natively for MKV if you have a suitable gfx card.

This.

I cannot put into words how excellent these two things are for playing MKV.

Or if you're looking for an all in one simple program, http://mirillis.com/splash.html
