WMP in XP-SP1 CherylC 12/30/2008 2:14:00 PM Can anyone tell me what is the highest version of WMP that works with XP SP1? Due to other issues preventing me from installing SP2 or 3, I am pretty limited in what applications I can upgrade. Unfortunately, this also limits what tasks I can perform, and one of them requires WMP 9.0; but I want to make sure it will work before I spend a lot of time trying to find it.... For that matter, does anyone have any idea where I can find older versions of WMP??? Thanks - and while I have your attention, have a wonderful New Year!!!!

WMP10 will run on SP1, but WMP11 won't (see readme -> system requirements for each FAQ) http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/readme.aspx#System http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/readme.aspx#Minimumsystemrequirements > Due to other issues preventing me from installing SP2 or 3, I am pretty >limited in what applications I can upgrade. Unfortunately, this also limits What's actually stopping you upgrading ? It's a recommended install due to serious security issues solved between SP1 and SP3... >what tasks I can perform, and one of them requires WMP 9.0; but I want to >make sure it will work before I spend a lot of time trying to find it.... > >For that matter, does anyone have any idea where I can find older versions >of WMP???
