A critical bug in WMP9 and 10 has been discovered and there already is a proof of concept code that can exploit it.
Read more about it here
Test your player to see if its vulnerable here (Proof of Concept test file) -- I tested mine and it wouldnt play it (Got an error message (wmp9))
Grab a patch from Microsoft here

Does the fact i have the version of XP without media player (the european post antitrust one) mean i need the patch or not?
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

Probably not........
Did you remove WMP or was it not there to begin with?

Theres a version of XP called Windows XP N - It contains no bundled media player etc... and a minimal integrated IE so that microsoft provides an alternbative for users, in line with the EUs supreme courts antitrust ruling. (i baught it in france)

WHat was the point in buying XP n? You can remove windows media player anyway... Did it cost you less, I'm guessing not.
