How can I get Windows media 11 with official Xp?

[oh_dear]

I have alwasy been able to update my XP, now al of a sudden I can't and it is a pain in the arse.



Any one know where I can get it ? or know where there are keycodes I could use ?

Is it complaining about it not being a genuine copy? Some updates need you to install the Windows Genuine Advantage thing that tries to determine if you have a cracked copy, only it isn't very reliable and sometimes lies. If you do have a proper copy, ring up Microsofts activation number and get them to give you a new activation code which should put it back to normal.

Yeah for WMP11 you need to do the Genuine thingy, waste of time as I have an "odd" key and it lets me do it.

Anyhow, unless your desperate for it I wouldn't bother, 10 is better!

And Video Lan Client or Media Player Classic are better than both of them
