Upgrading Media Player

[Guest]

I tried to upgrade to Media Player 10 today - it got as far as deleting Media
Player 9, then came up with a message telling me that the version of media
player I was trying to load was incompatible with my version of windows.
I then tried to reload Media player 10 and got the same result.
I've tried system restore, but that doesn't work.
Any ideas ?
I'm using XP Home Edition.

is your XPHome up to date as far as patches and service packs goes?

Launch your Windows Media Player 9 and from
the Toolbar select: Help > Check for Player Updates.
This is the proper procedure in order to upgrade
to Windows Media Player 10.
