Jump to PostI wouldn't upgrade. WM10 is alot better.
Do you have the KB900325 (Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005) and KB925766 (the October 2006 Update Rollup) updates? these are nessacary accoring to microsoft.
Jump to PostI like WMP11 personally, there isn't much difference between them. As long as they play the music/CD's/DVD's in a good quality, that is about all you need. I wouldn't get iTunes/Quicktime player, i find it has slightly worse sounds and video quality compared to WMP. But that's just my opinion.
Jump to PostDdi you follow the instructions on the link i gave you?
To check your updates, I think they are in the add/remove panel (from control panel) near the bottom there should be a long list of updates. Not sure if this applies to 05 versions of media centre.
