Download Windows Media Player 11 here:

You don't need to have System Restore turned on to install Windows Media
Player. However, it's a good idea to create a restore point before you
install, so just in case the installation doesn't go well you can return
your system to essentially the way it was before you installed Windows
Media Player.

To find System Restore in Windows XP:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
