Ears are sensitive!

   Please, for a hobbyist -

I do not want more equipment;
however, my ears wish to hear a good natural sound
 on playing a midi file.

Now the only one possible adjustment
 on my windows 2000 computer is
 "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth".

Thank you for a tip

I assume your computer only has onboard sound?  Most say it's better
to get a 3rd party soundcard which will usually have it's own
wavetables.

But you have other options.  You can run Synthfont, which can use
Soundfont wavetables, of which there are many you can download from
the web.  Or, you can use WinGroove or MIDInight Express, which use
their own type of wavetable formats.  Or you can run a VST host (I
like Cantabile), with VST instrument and effects plugins, which use
another type of wavetable format.  There's also VSTSynthFont which is
a VST that uses Soundfonts.

All these options can be used regardless of the type of sound card you
have or don't have.

Thank you,

 however, it seems to me, that all answers to my problem
 needs special player software.

I thought that it is possible, to set an other default MIDI Output Device
 and all the different programs I use play
 according this setting.

I downloaded Synthfont and Viena too,
 but I do not know, when I change parameters to an instrument,
 how to play it with Windows Media Player for example.

Please to all, tell me more,
 to have an understandable vision for general-purpose midi.

Actually, you can. Wingroove is not only a player: It also is a device
driver, provided that you check that option while installing it.
Alternatively, you can also select that option after setup in the
Wingroove MIDI Device setup panel. I've found that under Windows 2000,
however, you install Wingroove, turn on the Device Driver option in
Wingroove, uninstall your sound card drivers (In Device Manager, not
in Add/Remove programs) and then restart your computer. After that,
you can use Wingroove as a MIDI device, but it will replace your sound
card's MIDI driver (NOT the Microsoft GM MIDI driver).
