    Not accusing you of anything, but is this a legit copy of Windows XP? Did the laptop come with it? If it is a copy/pirated the windows validation may be causing some issues.

    If it is legit, how are you getting the media player? The best way is to use Windows/Microsoft Update, as it will insure you get the right version.

    Good luck

    unless your installing an older version of media player i dont see how there could be a problem have you tried media player 10 this works fine on SP2 (whether its legit or not :p )
